It is unusual among his designs because its main inspiration is the Prairie style, combined with his typical details such as pointed arch window sash, Mercer tile and classical interior elements. It retains excellent integrity inside and out.","narrative":"Built in 1914 at 111 Clairmonte Avenue in Syracuse's Bellevue Heights neighborhood, this two-story brick and stucco house was designed by architect Ward Wellington Ward for George Fairchild, an undertaker who later became president of the firm Fairchild and Meech. Its rectilinear form, wide overhanging eaves and contrasting light and dark walls draw on the Prairie style, which makes it unusual among Ward's work. Typical Ward touches include pointed arch window lights, Mercer tile fireplaces, leaded and stained glass, and an arched dining room ceiling with bands of plaster fruit. A matching garage and a limestone retaining wall along the west and north sides also contribute to the property. Few changes have been made since 1914, and the interior and exterior remain well preserved. The house was listed for its architectural significance as an intact, representative example of Ward's residential designs in the city.","period_of_significance":"1914","architect_builder":"Ward, Ward Wellington","architectural_style":"Arts and Crafts/Prairie","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in good condition inside and out, in use as a single dwelling, with few changes since 1914 beyond remodeled kitchen, pantry and bathrooms, an enclosed pergola and a replaced front hall ceiling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.581088-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/97000070.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97000070/44b8fbfff6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97000070/44b8fbfff6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Doncram","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FairchildHouse_2007_12_16_pic3sm.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Doncram</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:FairchildHouse_2007_12_16_pic3sm.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"10000590","name":"Onondaga Highlands-Swaneola Heights Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/onondaga-highlands-swaneola-heights-historic-district-10000590/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314037","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_House_(Syracuse,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5430075"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/onondaga-county/fairchild-house-97000070/"}
