It is cited as representing the work of local builder James Parreco, and it is associated with the prosperity of the area's coal and coke boom.","narrative":"Built around 1910 by the local contractor James Parreco, this two-and-a-half story stone house stands on a sloping bluff above the Monongahela River in Greensboro, Greene County. Its coursed sandstone walls are rusticated in places, and a brick-columned porch with a shallow shed roof and exposed rafter tails runs along the south front. The hipped roof has wide eaves and an asymmetrical plan, a less common variant of the Prairie style. Interior features include plastered walls, bull's-eye corner blocks, an oak mantel, and a finished basement with Gothic arches. The house is regarded as an important example of substantial masonry building in Greensboro during the coal and coke boom, and it shows the work of Parreco, who also built the 1904 Greensboro Public School and the 1905 Greensboro Baptist Church.","period_of_significance":"C. 1910","architect_builder":"Parreco, James (contractor/builder)","architectural_style":"Prairie style with Craftsman elements","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 17:11:36.037852-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/95000115.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000115/8fab3d9da3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000115/8fab3d9da3-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"The original uploader was JoshuaTree at English Wikipedia.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JamesParrecoHouseIn2001.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">The original uploader was JoshuaTree at English Wikipedia.</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JamesParrecoHouseIn2001.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992975","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Parreco_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6140968"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/greene-county/parreco-james-house-95000115/"}
