The front section was built around 1860 and incorporates an earlier rear wing; a small barn, hog house and chicken house stand on the property.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be an intact, representative example of Greek Revival residential architecture in Newark Valley, listed under Criterion C. Its symmetrical facade, recessed porch with square columns forming a modified temple front, open returns, frieze bands and corner pilasters are characteristic of the style. Its form, a main block with a recessed porch flanked by two smaller wings, is described as unique among Newark Valley houses.","narrative":"This two-story frame house at 441 Brown Road, north of Newark Valley village, shows how a modest farmhouse could be remodeled in the Greek Revival style. The front section dates to about 1860 and is T-shaped in plan, with a front-gabled central block, a recessed porch with square columns and one-story wings on each side. Open returns, frieze bands and corner pilasters add classical detail. The rear wing probably preserves an earlier timber-frame house, which replaced a log cabin reportedly built for David S. Farrand and his wife Mary after they settled here around 1798. State census values suggest the front section was added between 1855 and 1865 under Lucia Farrand Pierson and her husband William. The property also includes a small barn, hog house and chicken house. Its recessed-porch form is unusual in the area. It was listed for architectural significance as an intact, representative example of Greek Revival residential construction in Newark Valley.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1830-ca. 1900","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a single dwelling; the interior has been altered since 1950, and a large barn has been lost.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.03841-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/97001490.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97001490/c07befdc33-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97001490/c07befdc33-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Delphinium1","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Farrand-Pierson_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Delphinium1</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:Farrand-Pierson_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315092","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farrand-Pierson_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5436232"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/tioga-county/farrand-pierson-house-97001490/"}
