The dwellings date from about 1830 to 1908.","why_significant":"It is described as the only intact nineteenth-century middle-class residential neighborhood in Bath. It contains a significant concentration of Greek Revival, Italianate and Queen Anne houses, many tied to locally prominent merchants and businessmen. The streets were among the earliest laid out when the village was planned in the late eighteenth century.","narrative":"Twenty-two houses along Gansevoort and East Steuben Streets, just northeast of Pulteney Square in Bath, form a small enclave of middle-class housing built between about 1830 and 1908. Most are two-story frame dwellings on lots under an acre, and their similar scale gives the three-block area a cohesive look. The houses show a range of styles: Greek Revival examples from the 1830s and 1840s, including the Ten Eyck Gansevoort House and the brick McMaster/Parkhurst House; Italianate houses with bracketed eaves and cupolas from Bath's railroad-era prosperity; Queen Anne houses with multi-gabled roofs; and one Colonial Revival house. Owners included a lawyer and county judge, a produce dealer, a carriage maker and a department store partner. The district is considered the only intact nineteenth-century middle-class residential neighborhood left in the village, and its boundaries exclude the modern and altered buildings nearby.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and late nineteenth-century eclectic","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as substantially intact with no intrusions; the former octagon house at 117 East Steuben Street was substantially altered when converted to county office space.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:42.263942-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/83001798.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001798/4aee33e24c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001798/4aee33e24c-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gansevoort_Oct_09.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gansevoort_Oct_09.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314729","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gansevoort/East_Steuben_Streets_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5521493"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/steuben-county/gansevoort-east-steuben-streets-historic-district-83001798/"}
