It was later lengthened and altered, and now houses a gift shop.","why_significant":"The house was the Greeley family home from 1864 to 1872, when Horace Greeley, the newspaper editor and anti-slavery crusader, lived here. It is the only one of the three original Greeley family homes in Chappaqua still standing, since the other two burned. It was restored in 1940 after falling into disrepair and looks much as it did in Greeley's day.","narrative":"Greeley House is a modest farmhouse at 100 King Street in Chappaqua, built around 1820 as part of the old Haviland farm. It began as a rectangular building with a center chimney, a corner sidelighted entrance and low ceilings. About the middle of the century it was lengthened at the north end, given a second chimney, and fitted with a full-width piazza, French windows, carved door frames and early Victorian wooden mantels. Horace Greeley bought it in 1864, and his family lived here until 1872, after his wife Mary pressed for a move from their isolated first Chappaqua home. By 1940 the house was so run down that demolition threatened, but two local citizens bought and restored it. Both of the other Greeley family homes in Chappaqua burned, in 1875 and 1890, so this is the only one left. It is valued as a surviving part of the Greeley heritage, and it now operates as a shop.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"In good condition; restored in 1940 and now used as a gift shop, with some interior changes made for commercial use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:38.809547-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/79003212.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003212/2e698e1dd1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003212/2e698e1dd1-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Horace_Greeley_House,_Chappaqua,_NY,_2009.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Horace_Greeley_House,_Chappaqua,_NY,_2009.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315505","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeley_House_(Chappaqua,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5602135"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/westchester-county/greeley-house-79003212/"}
