Clinton Avenue in the Brighton area near Rochester, Monroe County, New York, originally the home of farmer Timothy Wallace.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an intact, representative example of vernacular Greek Revival domestic architecture in western New York under Criterion C. Its two-story main block with flanking side wings is a less common form, and it is the only example of this type in the town of Brighton, notable for its brick construction. It also shows later changes, including conversion to a two-family home and the area's shift from farmland to suburb.","narrative":"Built around 1840 on South Clinton Avenue in Brighton, a suburb of Rochester, this brick farmhouse was the home of Timothy Wallace, who farmed about one hundred acres and served as town supervisor. Its two-story main block, set on a rubble stone foundation with limestone sills, lintels and water table, is flanked by recessed one-story wings, a form drawn from the Greek Revival temple plan. The nomination calls it the only example of this type in Brighton and notes that brick is unusual among similar local houses, which are mostly frame or stone. In 1867 new owners converted it to a two-family home and added rear wings; a large Eastlake porch followed and was later removed. Farmland was subdivided in 1913-14, and the house was returned to single-family use in 1947. It was listed for its architecture and for showing both its farm origins and the suburban growth around Rochester.","period_of_significance":"c1840-c1914","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a single-family residence; returned to single-family use in 1947 after decades as a two-family dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.5059-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/94000004.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94000004/63c1b39306-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94000004/63c1b39306-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"DanielPenfield","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TimothyWallaceHouseRochesterNewYork.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">DanielPenfield</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TimothyWallaceHouseRochesterNewYork.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318967","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Wallace_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14707481"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/monroe-county/wallace-timothy-house-94000004/"}
