It sits on a 0.85-acre lot that was once part of a 54-acre farm.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a representative example of vernacular Greek Revival domestic architecture in western New York, with a side-passage three-bay plan, front gable, wide frieze and telescoping rear wings. The original portion retains a high degree of integrity inside and out. It is also one of very few surviving brick farmhouses in Brighton and a well-known local landmark.","narrative":"Built around 1840 for farmer David Hagaman, this brick house at 661 Highland Avenue in Brighton, near Rochester, is a local example of rural Greek Revival design. It has a two-and-one-half-story, three-bay main block with its gable facing the street, a side-passage plan, a wide plain frieze with cornice returns, and stone sills and lintels. Two brick wings step down in size behind it, and the walls rest on a cobblestone foundation. Inside, shouldered and battered door trim, original wide-board floors and an English-made Carpenter lock survive. The house was the center of a 54-acre farm until the land was subdivided for suburban lots in 1911. A large rear addition and garage were built in 1994, affecting setting and design, but the original fabric remains largely intact. Its significance rests on its architecture and on its rarity as one of few remaining brick farmhouses in Brighton, where it serves as a recognized landmark.","period_of_significance":"c1840-c1850","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a single-family residence; a large rear addition with a three-car garage was built in 1994.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.265545-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/94001477.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94001477/c84a36d158-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94001477/c84a36d158-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"DanielPenfield","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DavidHagamanHouseFrontViewRochesterNewYork.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:DavidHagamanHouseFrontViewRochesterNewYork.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318834","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hagaman_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5234597"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/monroe-county/hagaman-david-house-94001477/"}
