It is a rare survivor in a dense, mostly modern commercial and residential neighborhood. Its Renaissance Revival style roofline distinguishes it, and an intact circa 1880 barn contributes to the property.","narrative":"Built around 1880, this two-story brick house at 426 South Main Street in Canandaigua is a well-preserved example of Italianate residential design. It has a three-bay side-hall plan, a truncated hipped roof with broad projecting eaves, and two corbelled brick chimneys. Oval openings pierce the wide frieze, and a large semi-circular cross gable sits at the center of the front facade. Windows have one-over-one sash with segmentally arched drip molds, and the entrance porch has scroll brackets and pierced woodwork. Inside, the original stairwell and two marble mantels survive. A frame barn of about 1880 stands behind the house. The property sits on a one-acre lot, unusually large for a neighborhood of small parcels near the business district. It was listed because it is a rare, intact survivor of late nineteenth century Italianate architecture in an area now dominated by modern commercial and residential buildings, with a distinctive Renaissance Revival style roofline and carefully detailed stonework and porch.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate (with a Renaissance Revival style roofline)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is rated good; present use is residential/commercial.
