Woollett, with a garage (former carriage barn) and a well house.","why_significant":"It is a significant example of late nineteenth-century pattern-book suburban architecture, designed by Woollett and published as Design 6 in A.J. Bicknell's 1875 book. It reflects the shift along Loudon Road from large suburban estates to smaller middle-class homes. It is also a rare documented example of Woollett's suburban work.","narrative":"Built in 1874 at 441 Loudon Road in Colonie, this two-story, L-shaped frame house was designed by the Albany architect William M. Woollett and built for Samuel N. Bacon and Leander Stickney, partners in an Albany coffee and spice milling firm. Its plans appeared as Design 6 in A.J. Bicknell's Wooden and Brick Buildings with Details in 1875. The clapboard house has an asymmetrical plan, a flaring gable roof with diamond-shaped windows, a gambrel-roofed rear wing, carved brackets, octagonal chimney pots and a patterned slate roof. Inside, marble mantels and an unusual double-newel staircase survive. A garage that was once a carriage barn and a small well house stand behind it. The house marks a change along Loudon Road, where large suburban estates were giving way to smaller middle-class homes on modest lots. Woollett's short career drew national attention through published designs, and this is a rare documented example of his suburban work.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect: William M.
