It shows how architectural fashion spread along river and canal routes. The later wing's interior reflects the family's continued prosperity and a shift to eclectic late-nineteenth-century taste.","narrative":"Begun in 1818 beside the Oneida River, this house in Schroeppel was built by George Cusparus Schroeppel, a wealthy New York City merchant, and his son Henry as the centerpiece of a large self-sufficient farm, the first in the town. The wood frame dwelling takes the form of a temple, with a two-story Ionic portico, a pediment with a triangular window, a modillion cornice and nine-panel Federal doors with leaded sidelights and transoms. Interior door surrounds resemble designs published by Asher Benjamin. A two-story wing was added later at the west end, giving the house an L shape and featuring a coffered metal ceiling and eclectic carved mantels. Henry Schroeppel expanded the farm and helped build locks on the Oneida River that eased barge travel toward Oswego. The house illustrates how sophisticated design reached north central New York along river and canal routes. It sits on a 6.1 acre parcel and no outbuildings survive.","period_of_significance":"1818","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Neo-classical; combines Greek Revival and Federal elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"The form states the mansion was being restored by its owners at the time of nomination.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.344396-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82003395.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320875","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schroeppel_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7432906"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/oswego-county/schroeppel-house-82003395/"}
