It sits on a raised ashlar stone basement on a small lot west of the Liberty Street Historic District.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a distinctive example of Italian Villa architecture, with an L-shaped plan, a prominent tower with iron cresting and a heavily bracketed cornice. It is one of only two surviving examples of the style in the village. It is also associated with William Shepherd, a longtime prominent insurance agent in Bath.","narrative":"Built in 1873, this two-story brick house at 110 West Washington Street in Bath is an L-shaped Italian Villa style residence set on a raised basement of coursed ashlar stone. Its most striking feature is a three-story tower with a mansard roof, bracketed cornice, small pediments and cast-iron cresting. Paired rounded-arch windows with decorative drip molds light the tower's upper story, while the main block has a cross gable roof with prominent returns and a bracketed cornice. The house is considered significant as one of only two surviving Italian Villa style dwellings in the village, the other being the A.P. Ferris House on Liberty Street. The tower sets both apart from the more common Italianate houses. The property is also tied to William Shepherd, a prominent insurance agent in Bath for many years. Alterations include an enclosed front porch and rear additions, but the house retains substantial original integrity. A modern garage and shed on the lot do not contribute to its significance.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italian Villa","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition and still used as a residence, with an original site and minor alterations such as an enclosed front porch and rear additions.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.813291-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/83001805.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001805/3e3d86b64c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001805/3e3d86b64c-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_Shepherd_House_Oct_09.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_Shepherd_House_Oct_09.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314714","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shepherd_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8018373"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/steuben-county/shepherd-william-house-83001805/"}
