It sits on a one-third acre corner lot with a contributing barn.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a distinguished example of Greek Revival residential architecture and the most substantial and distinguished of its style in the Dryden multiple resource area. It is also associated with Dryden's shift from settlement to prosperous community and with prominent village citizens, including John C. Lacy, and it retains an outstanding degree of integrity.","narrative":"Standing at the corner of West Main and Mill Streets in Dryden, this clapboard house of two and one-half stories reflects the transition between the Federal and Greek Revival styles. Its four elevations are each crowned by a pediment with molded cornices, triangular windows and acanthus leaf cresting, while colossal Doric pilasters carry a bold entablature. The main and east entrances have transoms, sidelights and four-pier porticos, and the basement windows keep their original cast-iron grilles. A nineteenth century barn, a granite mounting stone and two iron hitching posts also survive. The house is thought to have been built in 1845 for Dr. Daniel D. Page, who developed the Bunker Hill apple in orchards on the property. Later occupants included mill builder Lyman Corbin and John C. Lacy, a village president and son of pioneer Benjamin Lacy. Lacy's daughter Ada Belle and her husband, lawyer D.F. Van Vleet, later lived there. It is considered the finest Greek Revival residence in the village's resource area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival (transitional between Federal and Greek Revival)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition, on its original site, and still used as a private home; the only noted alteration is reroofing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:43.467492-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/84003187.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003187/19b96a5e68-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003187/19b96a5e68-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.0","author":"Doug Kerr from Albany, New York, United States","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lacy-Van_Vleet_House_Dryden_NY_Jan_10.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Doug Kerr from Albany, New York, United States</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lacy-Van_Vleet_House_Dryden_NY_Jan_10.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315148","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacy-Van_Vleet_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6469166"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/tompkins-county/lacy-van-vleet-house-84003187/"}
