Its round corner towers, three siding textures and spindlework porch embody the style, and its symmetrical facade shows emerging Neoclassical influence. It is one of the two most distinctive substantial turn-of-the-century village residences in the area.","narrative":"Built in 1900 on Salina Street in Lacona, this two-story frame house was the work of Fred Smart, a lumberman, merchant and skilled carriage maker, boat builder and cabinet maker. Its rectangular gabled main block is flanked by round towers at the front corners, and a bowed one-story porch with turned posts and spindles links them. Three surfaces give the exterior texture: clapboard, scalloped shingles, and pressed metal made to resemble concrete block. Inside, the original maple floors, stairway and woodwork, handmade by Smart, remain intact. Behind the house stand the original carriage house, still used as a garage, and an early twentieth-century pergola in a perennial garden. The house is considered a distinctive, well-preserved example of Queen Anne design in Sandy Creek, with a symmetrical facade that hints at Neoclassical influence. Its restrained ornament and metal imitation of stone reflect the conservative tastes of small New York villages. It has always served as a dwelling.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Builder: Fred Smart; architect: NA","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Remains in use as a residence; condition listed as excellent, with the carriage house still used as a garage.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.175706-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/88002215.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002215/c73702e2b4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002215/c73702e2b4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JaPaGaIII","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lacona_smart.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JaPaGaIII</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:Lacona_smart.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314293","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Smart_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5496284"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/oswego-county/smart-fred-house-88002215/"}
