It is now a single-family house.","why_significant":"It is one of the few surviving buildings from the early development of Sidney and Unadilla. It served as an inn on the Catskill Turnpike, then as the main house of a prosperous farm, then as a residence, mirroring the valley's shift from commerce to agriculture to manufacturing. It is also a well-preserved example of transitional late Georgian and Federal architecture, with fine exterior and interior detailing.","narrative":"Built around 1795 as an inn serving the Catskill Turnpike, this timber-frame building sits above the Susquehanna River near Unadilla. Local tradition credits James DeCalvin with its construction, though records do not confirm this. Andrew Mann bought it in 1815 and ran it as an inn during the turnpike's busiest years, near an important ferry crossing. After the Erie Canal opened and traffic declined, the property became a prosperous farm through the nineteenth century. Following the death of its last farmer in 1898, the land was subdivided and the house became a residence for workers in Sidney's factories. Architecturally, it blends late Georgian and Federal features, including fluted giant pilasters, carved cornice details, a fanlighted doorway and five different carved mantels, with an elaborate parlor. Its changing uses record the valley's shift from trade to farming to manufacturing, and it remains one of the few reminders of the area's early commercial life.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Transitional late Georgian / Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; the nomination describes its condition as fair, with a structurally weak spot and a wing roof near collapse.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:38.584856-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/80002747.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002747/60619ed78f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002747/60619ed78f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Enigs","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_York_-_Andrew_Mann_Inn_-_20190908101206.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Enigs</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_York_-_Andrew_Mann_Inn_-_20190908101206.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320956","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Mann_Inn","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4757873"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/otsego-county/mann-andrew-inn-80002747/"}
