Historic Resource Inventory Form - Continuation Sheet Address: 1860 Trumansburg Road Village/Hamlet: Jacksonville (Ulysses) Narrative Description of Property A 201h -century postcard in the DeWitt Historical Society archive shows the two- story house to have been clapboard sided and to have possessed a hood enframement with brackets and pendants over the front door similar to those treatments still extant on 1864 Trumansburg Road. The building has experienced a number of alterations, although the main block retains the scale, massing and form of the Greek Revival style. The moderately pitched gabled roof is aesthetically supported by a very heavy entablature terminating on the gable ends with plain returns. The originally clapboard house has been sided with asphalt shingles. The original block is divided into five bays and rests on a stone foundation. The second story original windows of the main (northeast) facade are double -hung sash with 6/6 lights. The first -floor window is a replacement of the original. The house now has a 20th century, one-story enclosed porch on the main (northeast) facade that is four bays wide, and the shed roof is covered in asphalt shingles. The 1983 historical survey indicated that the porch windows were once double -hung sash with 3/1 light configuration articulated with flat molding. Since then, the majority of the windows have been removed and the porch is now open to the elements. The house is accessible from the main fagade via a simple door at ground level on the north fagade of the enclosed porch. A rough 2x4 unfinished wood railing flanks the small poured concrete landing and part of the three concrete steps leading from the roadway to the door. Numerous 20th century additions to the rear (west) facade began with a 600 square foot, two-story addition, running the full width of the original structure and capped by a flat roof. The second addition on the rear (west) facade is approximately 700 square feet and is U-shaped in plan. This section is capped by a low-pitched gable roof. All of these additions were added in the 20th century and are set upon concrete foundations. The metal roof evident in the 1983 historical survey has been subsequently removed and replaced with asphalt shingles at the end of their functional life span. Overall, the exterior of the house is in fair condition. Compiled by Katelin Olson, August 15, 2014 N.Y. Historic Resource Inventory Form - Continuation Sheet Address: 1860 Trumansburg Road Village/Hamlet: Jacksonville (Ulysses) Narrative Description of Property (continued) A large two-story, side -gable garage with green metal roof, constructed out of concrete block and wood, is at the rear (west) end of the property. This is another 20th century addition to the property, and is accessible via a driveway that runs the along the north facade of the house. The widening of Route 96 consumed a significant portion of the lawn in front of the house, which now resides only about 3 feet from the roadway. Narrative Description of Significance Situated within the immediate vicinity of the hamlet of Jacksonville, 1860 Trumansburg road is one of five structure son the northwest side of Route 96/Trumansburg Road that appears on the Atlas Maps of 1853 and 1866, making it one of the first houses in the hamlet of Jacksonville, and the 1842 deed references the house, called the "Mansio House," indicating that it was constructed pre -1842. The 1842 deed further states that it "being the pace where the said William and Albert Pierson now reside, containing one acre of land." Pierson paid $1500 for the property. Horace Cooper, who owned the house very briefly during 1880, previously served as Ulysses Town Clerk numerous times between 1821 and 1877. Originally constructed as a single-family residence, it has been converted into a three-family residence for at least 20 years. (The conversion is noted on the 6/20/1996 deed.)
