It retains a remarkably intact period interior and a matching carriage house. It is also a rare survivor of the once-fashionable North Peterboro Street neighborhood and was the home of Herman Casler, an early figure in photography and the Biograph Films industry.","narrative":"Built around 1890, this large two and one-half story frame house on North Peterboro Street in Canastota combines Queen Anne and Colonial Revival features. Clapboard and shingle siding, an asymmetrical plan, a multi-gabled roof of polychrome slate, and bracketed cantilevered gable ends give it a picturesque profile. A sweeping verandah with paired Doric columns wraps the southwest corner beneath a conical roof. Inside, the original room layout survives along with parquet floors, plaster cornice detailing, a terra-cotta fireplace, a stained-glass stair window, and carved oak woodwork. Behind the house stands a turn-of-the-century garage/barn with half-timbered doors. The street was once among the village's most fashionable residential areas, but many of its large homes have been altered or lost, which makes this house a rare survivor. Its first occupant was Herman Casler, a local figure in early photography who, with partner Harry Marvin, helped found the Biograph Films enterprise.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne and Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition on its original site and in use as a private residence; no threats are known.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.126199-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/86001299.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313464","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_326_North_Peterboro_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5914242"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/madison-county/house-at-326-north-peterboro-street-86001299/"}
