House at 107 Stroud Street
Why it's listed
Built around 1875 on the west side of Stroud Street in Canastota, this two-story frame house combines Italianate form with Eastlake ornament. It has a cubic mass under a low hipped roof with a central cross gable, broad projecting eaves and a bead and reel pattern along the cornice. Twentieth-century shingles now cover the walls. The three-bay front includes a four-part oriel window and miter-arched lintels. An elaborate porch with turned and pierced woodwork spans the facade and shows the Eastlake influence. A one-and-one-half story rear wing and a modern garage, which does not contribute to the property's significance, extend behind. Inside, the house was remodelled for apartments and the main stairwell is gone, but some molded trim and a marble fireplace with inlaid Eastlake detailing survive in the southeast parlor. It was listed as a distinguished local example of Italianate residential design, comparable to other late-nineteenth century houses in the village. The architect, builder and original owners are unknown.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the house is a distinguished example of Italianate residential architecture in Canastota. Its cubic massing, hipped roof, broad eaves and wide frieze are Italianate traits, while the front porch shows Eastlake influence. It is one of several picturesque late-nineteenth century houses in the village's multiple resource group.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
