It was also home to a series of prominent local families during the period of significance, reflecting the village's late nineteenth-century prosperity as a county seat and center of commerce and light industry.","narrative":"Set on a high knoll in a quiet, sparsely settled northern part of Mount Morris, this two-story, T-shaped frame house sits on a 4.6-acre parcel landscaped with man-made stone terraces, which gave the property the nickname \"The Terraces.\" It is believed to have been built about 1854 in a vernacular Gothic Revival style, then expanded and remodeled in the 1880s and 1890s in a Queen Anne and late Victorian eclectic manner. Original clapboard was later covered with cedar shingles in the mid-twentieth century. Ornament from both eras includes a scrollsawn bargeboard, paired Gothic-arched windows, a rounded two-story corner bay, and a sweeping verandah with scrollsawn trim. The house was listed for its architecture and for its intact setting. During the period of significance, local families including the Yeomans, Shepards, Browns, and Seymours occupied it, and it reflects the prosperity of Mount Morris as the Livingston County seat and a center of commerce and agribusiness.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1854 - ca. 1900","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Eclectic (vernacular Gothic Revival origins, remodeled in vernacular Queen Anne style)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; the form lists no outbuildings on the 4.6-acre parcel.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.744698-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/98001583.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001583/f731d969e0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001583/f731d969e0-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HOUSE_AT_NO._48_GROVE_STREET,_LIVINGSTON_COUNTY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</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:HOUSE_AT_NO._48_GROVE_STREET,_LIVINGSTON_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313389","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_No._48_Grove_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706447"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/livingston-county/house-at-no-48-grove-street-98001583/"}
