The form gives its dates as 1804-1812.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of Onondaga County's oldest and finest Federal-style homes, an unusually fine architectural achievement for a rural area at so early a date. It is also tied to Dan Bradley, a pioneer, judge and leading figure in early Marcellus history, and to his son, a missionary in Siam. The interior retains Federal mantels, hand-forged hardware and an original cooking hearth.","narrative":"Built on a wooded knoll on South Street in Marcellus, this Federal-style house has a two-story main block with a large attic and a story-and-a-half ell. Its Federal details include fan lights in the pedimented gables, a dentiled cornice and a round-arched doorway with side lights. Inside, the house keeps pilastered Federal mantels, hand-forged hardware, windows with early glass and an original cooking hearth in the basement kitchen. Judge Dan Bradley, a Yale graduate, minister and pioneer settler, built it. He was Onondaga County's first judge of county courts, founded the Marcellus Congregational Church and wrote on experimental agriculture. His son, Dan Beach Bradley, grew up here before becoming a medical and religious missionary in Siam. The exact construction date is unknown, but the best documentation points to a date no earlier than 1804 and before 1812. A small early barn and a 1963 garage share the 1.5-acre site. Later owners restored the house to its original appearance.","period_of_significance":"1804-1812","architect_builder":"Dan Bradley","architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Private residence, occupied and described as in excellent condition and unaltered; features changed over the years were restored to the original appearance.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:40.086543-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/78001889.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78001889/99239472e2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78001889/99239472e2-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Gilbert Ask","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dan_Bradley_House,_Marcellus_(Onondaga_County,_New_York).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Gilbert Ask</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dan_Bradley_House,_Marcellus_(Onondaga_County,_New_York).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320307","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Bradley_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5213180"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/onondaga-county/bradley-dan-house-78001889/"}
