OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES OF BUILDING AND SITE (including interior features if known): This Greek Revival building is one -and- a -half stories, following a generally rectangular plan; with a one story, rectangular section appended to the east gable end.

HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE: The Hughes' home is situated in the area of Jacksonville's earliest settlement at the crossroads of Jacksonville Road and New York State Route 96. As a vernacular example of Greek Revival architecture, it is representative of Jacksonville's greatest period of growth which occured in the.early to mid nineteenth century. It is one of the earliest buildings still standing at the crossroads which basically retains its original appearance. 21.

Another square hole is on the upper level in the east corner of the south side. 17. interrelationship of building and surroundings: Diagonally to the right on the west side of route 96 is a commercial store which is about one hundred years old.

The west gable end faces the.Jacksonville Road and has two double -hung windows on the upper story which have one over one lights. They don't appear to be original to the buildir On the first story, the door is near the north side of the west wall and is probably not original. It has a slate stoop. To the right of the door are two smaller double -hung windows with one over one lights. The cornice is rather heavy and projects slightly. The wide friezeband does not return on the gable ends. There are three frieze windows on both the north and south sides; on the north' wall, the frieze window nearest the west end have been boarded up, while on the south wall, the middle one is also boarded up. The frieze window on the west end of the south side has been altered and extends past the frieze. On the first floor of the north side, two double -hung windows have one over one lights. Close to these are single -paned windows in the section appended to the rear of the building; they are rectanguL and horizontal, and do not appear to be original. Underneath these are two casement windows set in the foundation. The south side has one large modern window consisting of a large single pane in the center, with a double hung, one over oner paned window on either sick To its right are two double hung windows with one over one lights. The second story double -hung window on the east gable end has six over six lights and thin mutins. The south side of the one story section appended to the east gable end has a low sloping porch roof. Centrally placed on the roof is a double -hung dormer window with one over one lights. On the lower level a door and a modern bipartite casement window are to the left of the dormer. The east end of the south side is walled in and has a double hung window with one over one lights.

Of the two doors on the east wall, one is to the left of the roof's ridge pole and has glass panes in"the top one third of the door. The other one is placed on the right corner of the wall, andlconsists of rough vertical planks. Hughes, page 3 On the level above, a small centrally-placed double -hung window has six over six lights.
