It was built by Warren Hull and is nominated with a ca. 1870 barn and a family cemetery.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a rare surviving example of early nineteenth century settlement-period architecture in Western New York. It is tied to Warren Hull, one of Lancaster's earliest pioneers, and to the pre-Erie Canal settlement era. Its Federal form, double-pile plan, Adamesque entrance, Palladian-inspired window and intact interior details support the architectural case.","narrative":"Warren Hull, a Revolutionary War veteran and one of Erie County's earliest pioneers, built this farmhouse around 1810 in the town of Lancaster. It is a two-story, five-bay, center-hall stone building with a stucco coating and a double-pile plan. The front entrance has sidelights, slender pilasters and an elliptical arch with cut-stone voussoirs, and a Palladian-inspired window sits above it. Inside, original mantels, a cherry-railed staircase, wainscoting and heavy timber attic framing survive. In the 1860s the stepped gable ends were replaced with a standard gable roof, a decorative bargeboard was added, and the walls were stuccoed. The 22.5-acre property also includes a ca. 1870 barn and a Hull family cemetery used into the 1860s. The property is recognized as a rare survivor of settlement-period architecture in Western New York, built before the Erie Canal opened the region to wider settlement. A later east wing does not contribute to its significance.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1810 - ca. 1870","architect_builder":"Unknown; built by Warren Hull (ca. 1810)","architectural_style":"Early Republic: Federal; Late Victorian","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a single dwelling.
