The second-floor porch and Victorian ornament were added by 1906 over earlier Greek Revival styling.

It also reflects the influence of the Erie Railroad and the old turnpike on the hamlet.","narrative":"Reilly's Store is a two-story wooden building on County Road 114 in Cochecton, built about 1860 by local merchant Ellery Calkins. It faces the route of the old Newburgh-Cochecton-Great Bend Turnpike and backs onto the railroad tracks. Four posts with decorated capitals support a second-floor porch, and double brackets and scroll work add picturesque detail. Early photographs show a Greek Revival look, but by 1906 the porch and Victorian ornament had been added. A later one-story addition and a barn with a faded \"Castoria\" advertising sign are attached at the rear. The O'Reilly family, later shortened to Reilly, ran the general store until it closed in 1958. The ground-floor sales area keeps its original shelving and counters, and the upstairs remains a residence. The property was listed for its intact architecture and as an example of how the railroad shaped Cochecton's building styles.","period_of_significance":"1860-1942","architect_builder":"Ellery Calkins - builder","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/picturesque","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Store closed in 1958 and has not been used as a store since; the second floor is still used as a residence, the one-story addition is temporarily used as office space, and the barn is used for storage.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.930387-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/92001594.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315039","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reilly%27s_Store","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7310159"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/sullivan-county/reillys-store-92001594/"}
