The property at 1865 Trumansburg Road (c. 1835-1850) consists of various
portions built over the 19th century. The one -and -a -half story, side -gable eastern portion
was the original block of the property, constructed in the Greek Revival style. The porch
runs the length of this porch on the main (southwestern) facade. The shed roof of the
porch is supported by two posts and one engaged pier over a stone foundation. Above the
porch roof, a wide frieze is pierced with two frieze windows that retain three fixed lights.
The frieze continues around to the southeast fagade, terminating in simple returns. A
painted brick chimney bisects this fagade. The fagade is sheathed with clapboard. The
windows throughout the various facades are largely replacement sash with 1/1 lights,
with the exception of the frieze windows. The doors also appear to be replacement. The
roof is clad in asphalt shingles.
The northwestern two-story addition is far simpler and vernacular in its
configuration and aesthetic detailing. The end -gable, two-story, two -bay addition is
attached to the northwest fagade of the original block. Its stone foundation suggests that
the addition was constructed in the 19th century, likely c. 1880.
The main block also has a one-story addition to the northeast with a deck attached
on the southeast facade.
The house retains the features and configuration as described on the 1983 survey.
The main visible exterior alteration is the replacement of the porch floor and steps of the
main fagade. A new balustrade supports the posts on the exterior, extending the porch
closer to the road. The porch floor, balustrade, railing, and additional supports are
constructed of stained pressure -treated lumber than sharply contrasts with the white
clapboard of the house.

Narrative Description of Property (continued)
A simple gable -end single -car garage (c. 1920) is at the rear of the property, and
is similar to other houses in the hamlet, including 1866 Trumansburg Road. The centered
door and window are replacements.
A stream runs west to east along the western property line. The property is
separated from the adjacent property to the southwest by a line of maple trees.
The property is currently used as a residence, as well as housing Sassy Dog
Grooming.
Narrative Description of Significance
The house was constructed during Jacksonville's period of prosperity in the
early/mid-19th century. It first appears on the Map of Tompkins County (1853) and is
similar in style and form to the other Greek Revival -style homes in the neighborhood.
