Knapp, Sr., on a 1.1-acre lot with a carriage barn, chicken coop and gazebo.","why_significant":"The house is significant under Criterion C as a fine domestic example of Colonial Revival architecture that retains a high degree of integrity. It is described as the only turn-of-the-century Colonial Revival residence in the village. It also reflects the village's development context and was built with a medical office and side entrance for its physician owner.","narrative":"Built around 1905 at 10 Rock Street in the Village of Newark Valley, this two-story frame house was designed as both a family home and a doctor's practice. Dr. Hiram L. Knapp, Sr., had a waiting room and examining office placed in the house, reached through a side entrance, and he practiced there from 1905 until his death in 1942. Cephas Barker of Syracuse is credited as builder. The hipped-roof house shows Colonial Revival features including pedimented dormers, a symmetrical facade, a full-width front porch with a pedimented entrance, wide projecting eaves and clapboard siding. Inside, the center hall plan, staircase, moldings, paneled doors, mantelpieces and oak floors remain. The 1.1-acre lot is unusually large for a neighborhood of mostly nineteenth-century homes and includes an original gambrel-roofed carriage barn and a chicken coop. A gazebo moved from Whig Street is noncontributing. The house is considered the only turn-of-the-century Colonial Revival residence in the village and retains a high degree of integrity.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1905","architect_builder":"Cephas Barker (also given as Cephus Barker and Cephas Barker of Syracuse)","architectural_style":"Early Twentieth Century / Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a single-dwelling residence; the original carriage barn and chicken coop survive with a high level of integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.367956-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/98000159.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315066","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapp_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6421751"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/tioga-county/knapp-house-98000159/"}
