Its eclectic design blends Georgian Revival and Shingle Style elements. It also reflects Cazenovia's change from an agricultural village to a summer resort community.","narrative":"Overlooking Cazenovia Lake from a low rise on Forman Street, this two-story wood-frame mansion was built in 1897-98 for the Reverend Townsend Glover Jackson and his wife Sophia. Local craftsmen built it: Henry H. Potter as carpenter and John D. Jones as mason. The architect is unknown. The house combines Georgian Revival features, including a symmetrical plan, central hall, Ionic and Doric columns and a porte-cochere, with Shingle Style wood shingles and eyebrow dormers. A small hipped-roof boathouse at the shore, dated 1900, keeps its original boat hoist and is unusual for being entered from either side. The property is listed for architecture and for its link to Cazenovia's growth as a summer resort, after rail service brought wealthy visitors from larger cities. Several lakeshore estates were built there between 1884 and 1928. The Jackson family kept the house until the 1950s, when it was divided into five units. The nominated parcel is about 2.4 acres.","period_of_significance":"1897-1901","architect_builder":"Henry H. Potter (carpenter, main house), John D.
