M'Clintock House
Also known as: See Also:Stanton, Elizabeth Cady, House
Why it's listed
This building in Waterloo, New York, is the Mary Ann M'Clintock House, one of five properties in the Women's Rights Historic Sites thematic group covering the villages of Seneca Falls and Waterloo. The surviving record is mostly administrative, so it gives little about the building's design, age or condition. Reviewer notes connect the group with the start of the women's rights movement in 1848. Mary Ann M'Clintock is named among the women associated with women's rights, dress reform and temperance, and the sites are also linked to the abolitionist movement. The state nominated the group as nationally significant in February 1980. A federal reviewer recommended accepting four of the five resources, including this house, and the property was entered in the register on August 29, 1980. The listed site is shown on a 1979 Waterloo tax map and covers about one-third of an acre.
Significance in brief: Reviewer notes tie the group to the birth of the women's rights movement around 1848. They link Mary Ann M'Clintock to women's rights, dress reform and temperance, and note associations with the abolitionist movement. The state considered the group nationally significant. Federal reviewers recommended accepting four of the five sites, including the M'Clintock house.

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.
