Narrative Description of Property
N1
p
The one -and -a -half story gable -end residence at 1870 Trumansburg Road is set on
a stone foundation and topped with an asphalt gabled roof. The gable end runs parallel
with Route 96/Trumansburg Road and the house is located on the south of the road. The
main entrance is centrally located on the main (northeastern) fagade. All of the windows
with 1/1 lights have replacement sash. The main historical block of the house consists of
540 square feet, and the rear (southwestern) fagade has had multiple 201h century
additions.
Since the survey of 1983, the house has lost the majority of its historical
architectural integrity. The only remnant of the residence's original Greek Revival style
is the form and massing. In 1983, a cornice with returns was visible, but the entire
structure has been clad with vinyl.
A single -car, gable -end garage is situated on the rear, southeast corner of the
property.
Narrative Description of Significance
The residence first appears on the New Topographical Atlas of Tompkins County
(1866). It's absent form the Map of Tompkins County (1853), suggesting it was
constructed ca. 1860.
