Historic Resource Inventory Form - Continuation Sheet Address: 1866 Trumansburg Road Village/Hamlet: Jacksonville (Ulysses) Narrative Description of Property Originally, 1866 Trumansburg Road/Route 96 was a rectangular, two-story side - gable block with returns. Aside from the form, massing and scale of the building, the majority of Greek Revival style details expected have been lost or covered during 20th century alterations. The main (northeastern) facade is divided into four bays with the main entrance offset to the south. A one-story porch with a shed roof covers the central two bays. The porch is supported by wooded posts. Once clad with wood clapboard, the building is now sided in aluminum siding and the roofs of the main block and addition are sheathed in asphalt shingles. The expected entablature has either been removed or covered. The visible windows on the main (northeastern) fagade are double -hung wood sash with 2/2 lights. The extensive alterations include a one-story 20th century addition to the rear (southwestern) facade with gabled roof. Is has a moderate pitch gabled roof and a concrete foundation. Adjacent to the house to the north is a small, single car, gable end garage, likely constructed ca. 1915. The original paired wooden doors are extant and the wood siding is intact. The entire small structure appears to be in its original condition and indicative of early automobile influences in Jacksonville. The residence is surrounded by other contemporaneous homes. It clearly lost part of its yard with the expansion of Route 96 during the 1950s. Currently the yard is filled with dense vegetation. Compiled by Katelin Olson, August 15, 2014 N.Y.
