It was built c. 1879 by James Jones.","why_significant":"The house is significant in the area of architecture as a modest, good example of the Italianate style in Greensboro. It retains enough of its original materials and details to represent that style, and it reflects the area's combination of national architectural trends with traditional I-house vernacular form during a period of commercial growth.","narrative":"Built c. 1879 by James Jones, a glass cutter who later served in the Union army, this two-and-a-half story brick house in Greensboro is laid in common bond on a cut stone foundation. It follows the I-house plan, with two parlors flanking a central hall and stair. Its Italianate features include a shallow roof with wide eaves, arched windows with raised brick crowns and keystones, and cut stone sills. The central door has an arched transom holding a ruby glass panel etched with a floral design, which Jones cut himself. Inside, the open staircase has a turned newel post and spindle balustrade, and the north parlor retains a carved slate mantel. A Colonial Revival porch with Ionic columns was added c. 1900, and a c. 1950 frame addition replaced the original kitchen. The house is regarded as a modest example of the Italianate style, reflecting Greensboro's commercial growth during the 1860-1880 period.","period_of_significance":"c. 1879 - c. 1900","architect_builder":"James Jones (builder)","architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:36.085564-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/95000112.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000112/4b4ac1729a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000112/4b4ac1729a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Generic1139","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:James_Jones_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Generic1139</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:James_Jones_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992979","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Jones_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6136962"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/greene-county/jones-james-house-95000112/"}
