It later served as Liverpool Village Hall.","why_significant":"The house is significant under Criterion C as a distinguished local example of Italianate residential design, with a hipped roof, central cupola, symmetrical facade and richly detailed entrance porch. It retains exceptional exterior and interior integrity, including shouldered architraves, cast plaster cornices, marble mantels and fine stained glass. It also reflects the prominence of its builder, a Liverpool industrialist active in salt, coal, boat building and banking.","narrative":"Built around 1860 at 314 Second Street in Liverpool, New York, this large two-story Italianate house was the home of Lucius Gleason, a local businessman with interests in salt, coal, boat building, casket making and banking. Stucco-faced brick walls rise from a limestone foundation beneath a hipped roof topped by a wooden cupola. A symmetrical three-bay facade centers on an elaborate wooden entrance porch, and smaller gabled wings step back toward the north. Inside, the center hall, parlors and dining room keep original woodwork, plaster cornices, marble mantels, a cherry-balustraded staircase and unusually fine stained glass. The house was listed for its architecture, as a distinguished local example of a house type common in central and western New York canal towns. Gleason lived there until 1893; his sister kept it until 1913, and the Village of Liverpool acquired it in 1938 for municipal offices.","period_of_significance":"c. 1860","architect_builder":"Gleason, Lucius (1819-1893)","architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Occupied by Village offices at the time of nomination, though partially vacated in 1988; the Village acquired it in 1938 and restoration was being pursued.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.228654-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/90000693.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320353","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Gleason_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6697541"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/onondaga-county/gleason-lucius-house-90000693/"}
