Fowler. The 1.8-acre property also includes a nineteenth-century carriage barn.","why_significant":"The house is presented as a distinctive and intact example of Greek Revival residential architecture in Mexico, with a low, boxy five-bay form and broad hipped roof that differ from the town's usual vertical, gable-roofed examples. It is also tied to several prominent local families, including Hiram W. Loomis. The barn and a surviving stone wall recall its agricultural origins.","narrative":"Set on a wooded 1.8-acre lot near the eastern edge of Mexico village, this wood-frame house was built around 1847 by LeRoy L. Fowler on what was then a forty-acre parcel. It is a one-and-one-half-story Greek Revival building, five bays wide, with a low hipped roof carried forward over a full-length portico on four square columns. The central entrance has a pilastered and pedimented enframement, and the first-floor windows have full-length fluted surrounds. Later changes include a six-foot extension and bay window added by Hiram W. Loomis around 1880-90 and a kitchen wing from about 1916. Its broad, boxy form is unusual among Mexico's Greek Revival houses, which are typically two stories with a gable roof. Loomis, a school commissioner, village president and state assemblyman, bought the property in 1866. Later owners included Norman Pierce and local historian Harry S. Stone. A mid-nineteenth-century carriage barn and part of an old stone wall recall the farm's earlier rural character.","period_of_significance":"c1847-c1930","architect_builder":"Unknown (built c1847 by LeRoy L.
