It is one of only two intact wooden five-bay center-hall versions of the style in Bath. It is also associated with David McMaster, Steuben County's first county judge, and the house stayed in the McMaster family until 1937.","narrative":"Built around 1830 to 1845, this one-and-one-half story frame farmhouse at 207 East Washington Street in Bath once sat on a large farm at the rural edge of the village. The neighborhood is now densely settled. The five-bay, center-hall house has a gable roof, pedimented gable ends, brick interior end chimneys, clapboard siding, a wide plain frieze and slender corner pilasters. The central entrance has sidelights, pilasters and a transom light. Wings added in the mid-nineteenth century repeat the Greek Revival detailing, and a side porch from the late nineteenth century carries Victorian post details. A late nineteenth century barn also survives on the lot. The house is among the earliest Greek Revival buildings in the village and one of only two intact wooden five-bay center-hall examples in Bath. It is also tied to David McMaster, who arrived in Bath in 1826 and became the first county judge and a longtime surrogate court judge. His family kept the house until 1937.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Private residence in excellent condition on its original site; no threats known.
