Architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The house is considered a distinctive example of Sea Cliff's late nineteenth century summer resort architecture. It is associated with the village's rapid growth as a seaside resort. It is a well-known local landmark because of its intact appearance and because it is identical to the neighboring house at 195 Prospect Avenue.","narrative":"Built in 1890 on a small, narrow lot along Prospect Avenue in Sea Cliff, this two-story frame house was constructed as a private summer residence during the peak of the village's development as a seaside resort. It has a slate jerkin-head roof, a projecting shed-roof dormer over the entrance porch, and spool-turned porch posts with a pedimented entrance, bargeboard, and sunburst brackets. The walls combine clapboard, board and batten, and fishscale shingles, and the windows have stained-glass borders. The exterior is virtually unaltered and the interior retains many period finishes. The house is regarded as a local landmark partly because it is identical to its neighbor at 195 Prospect Avenue. Its ornate detail on a relatively small house reflects the tastes and lifestyles of the seasonal visitors who shaped the community in the late nineteenth century. It remains a private residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian era summer resort architecture","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still in use as a private residence; condition is listed as good, and the exterior remains virtually unaltered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:46.185706-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/88000008.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88000008/e12cad68c4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88000008/e12cad68c4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Antony-22","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:199_Prospect_Avenue_2015.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Antony-22</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:199_Prospect_Avenue_2015.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313765","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_199_Prospect_Avenue","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15225971"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/nassau-county/house-at-199-prospect-avenue-88000008/"}
