It is also tied to the Weaver family, prominent and wealthy lumber entrepreneurs in mid-nineteenth-century Branchport. The surviving outbuildings, including a ca. 1880 carriage house and an early twentieth century dairy farm complex, add to its significance.","narrative":"Built about 1845-55 for lumber merchant Solomon Weaver, this two-and-a-half-story stone house with a smooth stucco finish sits on South Main Street in the village of Branchport, Yates County. Its cubic massing, low hipped roof with wide eaves, asymmetrical plan, cast iron balustrades and tall double-hung windows reflect the Italianate style, while the frieze windows, post-and-lintel entrance and shouldered door moldings show Greek Revival influence. Inside, plaster walls, paneled doors, pocket doors, a carved stair and marble fireplace surrounds remain largely intact. Weaver came to Branchport in 1832 and built a fortune in lumber, helping found the village. His son Myron built a closely matching house nearby. The 47-acre property also holds eight contributing outbuildings, including an 1880 Eastlake-influenced carriage house and barns, a milk house and a tenant house from the dairy farm the Pulver family ran after 1909. The house was recognized for its architecture and its intact setting.","period_of_significance":"1844-1855","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian/Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historic and current function is single dwelling; the tenant farmer's house is described as dilapidated, and the basket factory building now serves as a workshop.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.507657-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/94000963.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315550","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_Weaver_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7558764"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/yates-county/weaver-solomon-house-94000963/"}
