The house dates to about 1845 and was built around an earlier settlement-era core.","why_significant":"The form argues the house is an outstanding regional example of fully developed Greek Revival temple-front architecture, with a monumental two-story portico, and one of the best of its type in the county. It is also significant for agriculture as a largely intact mid-nineteenth century farmstead that kept its original buildings and rural setting. The surviving outbuildings and part of the historic acreage add to its value for studying farming and rural life in Yates County.","narrative":"Set at the end of Randall Road in Milo, beside Seneca Lake, this farm complex centers on a two-story Greek Revival house built around 1845. A massive building program that year absorbed an earlier settlement-era dwelling and added a one-story wing that had been a separate house moved to the site. A rear wing followed in the 1870s. The south front is dominated by a two-story portico of fluted Doric columns under a full pediment, with corner pilasters, a dentil course and a broad frieze. Inside, the gabled-ell plan, plaster walls, mantels, paneled doors and stair survive. Four outbuildings remain: a stock barn, a grain barn, a well house and a privy, mostly dating from about 1860 to 1870. The property was listed for its architecture, as one of the county's finest temple-front houses, and for agriculture, as a mostly intact mid-nineteenth century farmstead that shows how Yates County's farm economy grew.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1845 - ca. 1875","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Historic and current functions are both single dwelling and agricultural outbuildings; the farmhouse retains its historic interior fabric and gabled-ell plan.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:49.95131-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/94000951.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315609","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Raplee_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6851519"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/yates-county/raplee-miles-house-94000951/"}
