It combines picturesque asymmetrical massing with brick, stone, shingle, half-timber and rough-cast stucco, plus detailed interiors. It is tied to the city's 1880s growth, when the population doubled, and few similar neighborhood houses kept the same integrity.","narrative":"Built in 1888 at 111 Murray Street in Binghamton, this two-and-one-half story frame house is a well-preserved example of Queen Anne residential design. Its exterior mixes brick, stone trim, shingles, pseudo half-timbering and rough-cast stucco panels. Distinctive features include an octagonal turret with a conical roof, a corbelled gable with pierced bargeboards, a verandah with turned colonnettes, and a stucco entrance pediment carrying a grotesque in relief. Inside, the plan retains its original layout, with panelled wainscots, coffered ceilings, a tiled fireplace, spindle-work screens and stained-glass transoms. It was built for John T. Whitmore, a prosperous businessman who served as an alderman and later headed the L. Bolles Hoe and Tool Company. The house reflects Binghamton's building boom of the 1880s, when the city's population doubled. Many similar neighboring houses have been heavily altered, while this one remains among the city's most intact upper-middle-class examples of the style. Its architect has not been identified.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as occupied, in good condition, unaltered and on its original site; the form also marks work in progress.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:44.928677-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/86001653.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001653/c3bcd02427-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001653/c3bcd02427-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Ammodramus","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_T._Whitmore_house_1.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Ammodramus</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_T._Whitmore_house_1.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100007083","name":"Main Street Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/main-street-historic-district-100007083/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316622","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_T._Whitmore_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6260127"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/broome-county/whitmore-john-t-house-86001653/"}
