Its brick main house was built about 1828 by David Edgerley and sits among a barn complex, a cottage called \"Box Hill\" and other outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination calls the 1828 house a rare upstate New York example of Tidewater architecture, a rural vernacular interpretation of the Jeffersonian mode. It blends Roman Classical massing with Greek Revival detailing and is noted for craftsmanship, design and integrity. The whole complex is also significant for its continuous association with one family over about a century.","narrative":"Edgerley is a 19-acre country estate just south of Oakland, in the town of Portage, Livingston County. David Edgerley, who came from Philadelphia, built the brick main house about 1828 on a wooded knoll near Keshequa Creek, and a pegged-frame barn complex followed around 1830. The house grew in stages, with a wing added about 1870 for a larger household and a rear wing in 1930. Nearby stands \"Box Hill,\" a cottage dating from about 1815-20 that was enlarged between 1880 and 1890. The estate also holds a small early barn, a woodshed and millstones from a grist mill demolished in 1955. The original house combines Roman Classical massing with Greek Revival detailing and is described as a rare upstate example of Tidewater architecture. Its listing rests on that craftsmanship and design, and on the property's long ownership by one family, which assembled the present acreage in the early twentieth century.","period_of_significance":"1828-1969","architect_builder":"David Edgerley (original brick house, 1828); John Gates (1930 section)","architectural_style":"Transitional Roman Classical massing with Greek Revival detailing; Tidewater form","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition.
