A masonry garage designed by Ward stands on the property.","why_significant":"The house is significant under Criterion C as an intact, representative example of Ward Wellington Ward's residential architecture in Syracuse. It retains its Tudor Revival design, complex massing, Keck studio stained and leaded glass, a Mercer tile fireplace and original finishes in the principal rooms. The garage, designed to match the house, also contributes.","narrative":"Built in 1919 at the corner of East Genesee and Allen Streets in Syracuse, this two-story house was designed by architect Ward Wellington Ward for Frank Collins, president and treasurer of the F.P. Collins Paint Company. It is a Tudor Revival residence of brick and stucco with half-timbered gables, a slate roof, and complex massing that makes its seemingly symmetrical front more intricate than it first appears. Twenty-one stained glass installations from the Keck studio appear throughout, and the living room has a Mercer tile fireplace that Collins reportedly wanted to be better than any previously set in Syracuse. A matching masonry garage, also by Ward, stands to the north. Few alterations have been made, and original finishes survive in most principal rooms. The property was listed for its architecture as an intact and representative example of Ward's residential work in the city, part of a group of his buildings.","period_of_significance":"1919","architect_builder":"Ward, Ward Wellington","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Stated to be in good condition inside and out, with few changes since 1919: the south porch was enclosed, the kitchen remodelled, and some railings replaced.
