It is believed to have been inspired by designs of regional architect Gilbert B. Croff of Saratoga Springs, whose 1870 pattern book shows a house with similar proportions and details. The house retains its original design to a remarkable extent.","narrative":"Built around 1875, this asymmetrical two-story frame house on Warren Street in Glens Falls is a notable example of Second Empire design. Clapboard siding and a tall mansard roof define its form, while a raised, bracketed one-story porch spans the south front. Quoins, wall dormers, tall paired windows and an engaged corner entrance and stair tower with a pedimented ogee roof add vertical emphasis. A bracketed cornice runs below the mansard line, broken by tall pedimented dormers, and a bay window and side porch decorate the east side. The house is considered the most intact and elaborate Second Empire frame residence left in the city. It is believed to reflect the work of regional architect Gilbert B. Croff of Saratoga Springs, whose 1870 pattern book includes a design with similar proportions and details. Although later divided into multiple dwelling units, the building keeps its original design to a remarkable degree.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Possibly inspired by or designed by Gilbert B.
