It is also considered one of the most handsome and prominent older buildings in the city. The form describes it as a fine example of mid-nineteenth-century local craftsmanship that combines several stylistic elements.","narrative":"Sherman House is a large pink brick mansion on a tree-shaded corner lot at Glen Street and Sherman Avenue in Glens Falls. It has a profusely bracketed roof, an octagonal cupola and a two-and-a-half-story main block, with porches and wings added over time. Augustus Sherman, born in 1801, bought the land in 1844 and built a large business from a modest lumber operation, using the Glens Falls Feeder Canal for transport. He served as first president of the Glens Falls Paper Mill and the Bald Mountain Lime Company. The house appears on an 1858 map as one of the few exceptionally large homes. Greek Revival details such as shouldered trim, tall first-floor windows and a side hall plan suggest an 1840s origin, though local sources believe it was built in its present form. Around 1900 it became a sanatarium, gaining a front veranda and rear wing. It was listed as one of the city's earliest mansions and a fine example of local craftsmanship.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Transitional mid-19th-century house with Greek Revival features and a bracketed cornice; no formal style name given","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and occupied; leased by a senior citizens group and owned by a church.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:38.913546-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/77000985.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/77000985/7c13d1a7c2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/77000985/7c13d1a7c2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Kenneth C.
