It was built as a private residence for Jesse Robinson and later served as a church meeting place, dental office and, from the 1980s, a bed and breakfast.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an outstanding and well preserved example of the high-style homes built during Wellsboro's lumber-era prosperity. It is also presented as a fine example of the work of the Elmira-area firm of Pierce and Dockstader, and it retains notable interior woodwork and stained glass, including imported English tile fireplaces.","narrative":"Built in 1888 in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, the three-story brick house on a corner lot along Main Street is a Queen Anne design with a steeply pitched roof, wraparound latticed porch, and cut-wood shingles in the dormers. It was designed by Joseph Pierce and Otis Dockstader, whose firm worked across the Elmira, New York area. The house was commissioned by Jesse Robinson, cashier and later president of the First National Bank of Wellsboro, and it was constructed during the town's lumber-driven prosperity. Interior features include cherry and oak woodwork, stained glass windows of uncertain European origin, and English-made Minton tile fireplaces. The house is regarded as an outstanding survivor among the large late nineteenth-century homes of the town, and the form cites its interior woodwork and glass as the main reasons for its importance.","period_of_significance":"1888","architect_builder":"Joseph Pierce (architect); Otis Dockstader (architect)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Operated as a Bed and Breakfast after 1987, according to the form; exterior described as largely unchanged with interior alterations.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:36.748675-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/91000089.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91000089/852f593076-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91000089/852f593076-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jesse_Robinson_House_Wellsboro_PA_Oct_09.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jesse_Robinson_House_Wellsboro_PA_Oct_09.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"04001458","name":"Wellsboro Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/wellsboro-historic-district-04001458/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998612","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Robinson_House_(Wellsboro,_Pennsylvania)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6186800"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/tioga-county/robinson-jesse-house-91000089/"}
