It belongs to the village's early settlement and development context (1789-1865). It keeps its period features and integrity inside and out.","narrative":"Built around 1840, this two-story frame house on a large corner lot at West Cayuga and Grove Streets in Moravia is a well-preserved example of Greek Revival residential design. The main block has a three-bay front with an attenuated cornice, open gable returns, and a front door framed by sidelights and a transom, topped by a shallow bracketed Italianate hood. Original six-over-six sash windows survive, and narrow frieze band windows light the upper story on the sides. Narrow clapboard siding, corner pilasters, a cut stone foundation and a standing-seam metal roof complete the exterior. Inside, a side hall plan and modified Greek Revival trim remain, though the original stair was replaced by a late nineteenth century balustrade. A two-car garage from the 1926-1937 period sits on the lot. The house was listed for its architectural value, as one of the best preserved Greek Revival homes in the village and an example of its early housing.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1840","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historic and current function is single dwelling; the house retains high integrity of exterior and interior.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.147279-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/95000062.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000062/c1b21b3764-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000062/c1b21b3764-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Doncram","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_31_West_Cayuga_Street_22_27_32_471000.jpeg\" rel=\"noopener\">Doncram</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_31_West_Cayuga_Street_22_27_32_471000.jpeg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312180","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_31_West_Cayuga_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706435"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/cayuga-county/house-at-31-west-cayuga-street-95000062/"}
