The builder is not known.","why_significant":"The house is considered an intact, representative example of mid-nineteenth century residential architecture in Mount Morris and one of the best, most intact Italianate buildings in the village. It has a cubic form, a prominent cupola, tripartite bay windows and abundant decorative woodwork, plus largely intact late nineteenth century interior features. It also recalls the village's mid-century heyday as a canal-side commercial and industrial center on the Genesee Valley Canal.","narrative":"Standing on a slight knoll at the southwest corner of State and Genesee Streets in Mount Morris, this two-story brick house is believed to date from the 1850s. It is an Italianate building with a cubic form, a low hipped roof with broad eaves, and a large cupola decorated with paired scroll brackets. The symmetrical front has a central bay flanked by projecting three-part bay windows on both floors, with segmentally arched brick lintels over one-over-one windows. The entrance has sidelights, a transom and a hood on carved scroll brackets, and the east side has a three-bay porch with chamfered posts, dentils and pendants. Original interior features survive largely intact. The house was listed for its architecture, as one of the best preserved Italianate dwellings in the village. It also reflects Mount Morris's mid-nineteenth century prosperity as a commercial and industrial center along the Genesee Valley Canal. An 1872 map names G. Green as owner; little else is known of its early occupants.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1850s","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historic and current function is listed as a single-family dwelling; original interior features survive substantially intact.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.519951-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/98001580.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001580/5de6949ff1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001580/5de6949ff1-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_No_8_State_Street_Oct_09.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_No_8_State_Street_Oct_09.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313391","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_No._8_State_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5914546"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/livingston-county/house-at-no-8-state-street-98001580/"}
