It centers on a frame Italianate farmhouse built ca. 1870, with late nineteenth-century farm outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the complex is a distinctive collection of late nineteenth-century farm architecture. The farmhouse combines Italianate decoration with a much older five-bay, center-hall form, and the farm keeps a full set of outbuildings and much of its original acreage. The small cobblestone well house is a rare example of cobblestone construction in Cazenovia, and the dairy barns reflect the area's shift to dairying.","narrative":"Two miles southeast of Cazenovia village, this 124.55-acre farm on Ballina Road centers on a two-story frame farmhouse built around 1870. Its low hipped roof, broad eaves, paired scroll-sawn brackets and bracketed entrance porch mark it as Italianate, yet the symmetrical five-bay facade and center-hall plan follow rural building forms introduced in Cazenovia nearly a century earlier. Some interior features, including the staircase and wide floorboards, may date from the early nineteenth century, suggesting an earlier Federal period origin that still needs research. South of the house stand two barns, a shed, a privy, a former carriage barn and a small cobblestone well house, all from the late nineteenth century. The barns reflect the local shift to dairy farming once rail transport and refrigerated cars allowed fresh milk to be shipped. The well house is a rare local example of cobblestone construction. The builder and first occupant are unknown; the name comes from W. A. Crandall, the owner shown in an 1875 county atlas.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate (vernacular)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Farmhouse in residential use; condition rated good; the former carriage barn is used as a garage.
