Its asymmetrical plan, varied sheathing, gables, tall chimneys, two-story bay window, two-story porch and wooden ornamentation are typical of the village's late Victorian resort architecture. It retains a high level of integrity.","narrative":"Built around 1880 on Locust Place in Sea Cliff, this large two-story house served as a summer residence for John Pirie, who later became a village trustee from 1883 to 1886. It was constructed as the village was changing from a rustic camp meeting ground into a built-up resort within commuting distance of New York City. The wood frame house has a cross-gable roof, an asymmetrical plan, clapboard and shingle sheathing, corbelled brick chimneys, picturesque bargeboards, a large two-story bay window and a two-story porch. A tower and porch added on the west side in 1978 are considered non-historic, but the interior keeps pine and oak wainscoting, an oak staircase and four brick fireplaces. A brick carriage house with a slate hipped roof also survives at the rear. The property was listed because it illustrates the prosperity and architectural tastes of Sea Cliff's affluent summer residents during the height of resort development.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect and builder unknown; built for John Pirie","architectural_style":"Queen Anne (embellished Victorian-era summer house)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a private residence; condition rated good.
