It was built for Albertus Larrowe and later served as the Cohocton Town and Village Hall.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a distinctive, well-preserved example of a mid-Victorian Italianate village residence, with fine period craftsmanship and a high degree of integrity. It also reflects the prosperity of Cohocton's mill industry, through Albertus Larrowe, whose mill became one of the world's largest buckwheat flour mills.","narrative":"Built in 1856 on South Main Street in Cohocton, Steuben County, this Italianate house was the home of Albertus Larrowe, a mill owner whose grist mill grew into one of the largest buckwheat flour mills in the world. The frame house is square in plan, with stucco scored and painted to imitate cut stone, a low hipped roof with wide overhanging eaves, a central cupola, tall narrow windows, double front doors and porches with elaborately carved supports and brackets. Inside, the center-hall plan survives, along with oak doors and staircase, wainscoting and original moldings. A 1920s garage with a chauffeur's loft stands on the 1.6-acre lot, the remnant of the larger Larrowe farm. The Larrowe family owned the property until 1950, when it was given to the town and village for use as a municipal hall. The house is recognized as a prominent, little-altered example of Italianate architecture reflecting the area's milling prosperity.","period_of_significance":"1856-c1930","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as the town and village hall (municipal use since 1950); the garage is now a library reading room.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.7961-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/89002088.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89002088/06573b67da-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89002088/06573b67da-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Larrowe_House_Apr_11.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Larrowe_House_Apr_11.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75321985","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrowe_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6489836"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/steuben-county/larrowe-house-89002088/"}
