DeLong and attributed to architect Marcus F. Cummings.","why_significant":"The house is presented as a substantial, intact example of transitional Italianate-Second Empire residential design. It closely resembles the pattern-book designs of regional architect Marcus F. Cummings and is the most ornate and intact of three such residences in the multiple resource area. It also reflects the wealth and community standing of DeLong, a prominent merchant and village trustee and president.","narrative":"Built around 1870 at 348 Glen Street in Glens Falls, this two and one-half story brick house was remodeled for hardware merchant Zopher I. DeLong from an earlier brick and frame structure. It combines Italianate and Second Empire elements, including a mansard roof, a heavy bracketed cornice, ornate drip moldings and lintels, corbeled chimneys, and round and segmental arched windows. The design closely follows pattern-book work by regional architect Marcus F. Cummings, to whom it is attributed. Few Cummings buildings survive in the city, and this is the most ornate and intact of three comparable residences identified in the area. Inside, the parlors, library, dining room and hall keep varnished wood paneling, sliding doors, etched glass transoms, marble mantels, plaster cornices and a three-story central staircase. A 1927 remodeling for Frederick B. Chapman altered the service wing and porches. DeLong served as trustee and president of the village of Glens Falls from 1862 to 1864. The house now operates as a museum.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect: attributed to Marcus F.
