It has a frame farmhouse built ca. 1814 and a group of outbuildings dating from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the farmhouse and its largely intact outbuildings, including barns, corn cribs, hen houses, a carriage house and a stone wall, show how a working farm evolved over time. The farmhouse is an example of vernacular Federal style farm architecture, and the complex reflects Cazenovia's agricultural prosperity, including the later importance of dairying. Its survival with much of its original acreage is described as rare in the area.","narrative":"Evergreen Acres is a farm complex on a knoll on the west side of Syracuse Road, about half a mile from Cazenovia village, with a view east over Cazenovia Lake. The frame farmhouse dates from about 1814 and has a two-story, five-bay, center-hall plan under a gable roof. It was enlarged around 1860 with Italianate details, including a bay window and an entrance portico, and was altered again in the early twentieth century. Vinyl siding and new windows were added in the 1980s, but the form, massing and setting remain intact. Inside, a Federal style staircase and molded woodwork survive. Around the house stand four barns, a carriage house, two corn cribs, two hen houses, a shed, a wooden silo and a dry-laid stone wall. The nomination values the group as a rare, well-preserved record of a working farm in an area known for agriculture and dairying. Local tradition links the farm's construction to the town's founder, John Lincklaen, and a relative.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal style vernacular farmhouse with mid-19th century Italianate alterations","criteria":[],"status_note":"Farmhouse in good condition and still used as a residence; the former carriage house has recently been converted to apartments; barn #3 is deteriorated.
