It is described as one of Sonora's most cherished landmarks. Its origin is uncertain: local tradition says it was shipped from the East Coast in numbered pieces, and a wood sample identified as Eastern White Pine supports this.","narrative":"Perched on a hilltop above Sonora, this single-story Greek Revival house dates to about 1856. It has white pine clapboard siding, a cedar shingle gabled roof, green shutters and lattice, and a pedimented portico supported by Tuscan-like pillars. Porches wrap the east and south sides, and the interior keeps 14-foot ceilings, old wallpaper, grained doors and an early dining room stove. Gardens with brick paths, old trees and native slate retaining walls surround the house. Local tradition holds that it was built on the East Coast and shipped around Cape Horn in numbered pieces, and a wood sample identified as Eastern White Pine supports an eastern origin. Deed research shows John Sherman Cady took title in 1866, and the earlier owner, G.C.E. Haley, may have had it built. The house was listed as an example of quality, lasting construction from the years when Sonora was changing from a mining camp into a permanent town.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as excellent and altered, on its original site; occupied as a private residence.
