Its centerpiece is a two-story brick Italianate house with a tower, built in 1866 and completed in 1872, designed by William Embley.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a well-preserved example of an Italianate dwelling with informal Italian Villa influence. It has kept its original floor plan, interior, exterior and setting. The farmstead is also tied to Colonel William H. Fulkerson and his family and to a cattle farm known for short horn cattle.","narrative":"Hazel Dell Farm, the Colonel William H. Fulkerson Farmstead, lies about 1.5 miles north of Jerseyville in Jersey County, Illinois. Its main building is a two-story brick house with a mansard-roofed tower, built in 1866 and enlarged by 1872. William Embley served as architect and Nicholas F. Smith as general contractor. Italianate features include wide eaves with brackets, tall hooded windows, arched doors with ruby red glass, and cast iron cresting, while the tower, bay windows and porches reflect Italian Villa influence. Inside, the fourteen rooms keep original mantels, chandeliers, walnut stairs, pine floors and marble-top sinks. Colonel Fulkerson and his wife Cornelia moved from Tennessee in 1866 and built on land her father had entered in 1835. The farm became known for short horn cattle. A brick carriage house, a barn, an orchard, pasture and a small stream contribute to the farmstead. The period of significance runs from 1866 to 1872.","period_of_significance":"1866-1872","architect_builder":"Architect William Embley; general contractor Nicholas F.
