22. 'THEME:
#11. Alterations affecting the integrity of the original structure include replacement of
original six -over -six sash windows on the first story with one -over -one sashes. Vinyl
siding has been applied during the past twenty years.
#17. The house is setback from the northwest corner of the junction of the lane that runs
between the church and the schoolhouse connecting New York State Route 96 with the
Jacksonville Road, and the Jacksonville Road itself. Considerable set back from the
Jacksonville Road when compared with other structures on that street, the house, in fact,
fronts the lane with a set back more usual for the area.
The house is compatible with the surrounding buildings and contributes to the historic
character of both the cluster of structures at the crossroads of New York State Route 96 and
the Jacksonville Road, and the church, schoolhouse and church -lawn grouping.
#18. This two and one half story rectangular structure has a moderately pitched roof, with'
the ridge parallel to one road, and the gable end facing the other. A wing projects from the
west wall of the house and in the west side of the wing is a one bay garage. Evidence of
the Greek Revival style is displayed by the house's form and surviving decorative detail.
Over the doorways on the east and south facades, a projecting pediment surmounts a
horizontal molding supported by square posts. Despite vinyl siding, the house retains its
original wide frieze board and gable end returns.
While some modernization has occurred inside, most notably in the kitchen, and
changes due to installation of plumbing, electricity and heating systems, much of the
interior, including the living room, the dining room and most of the second story has
remained substantially in tact. Features include wide board floors, wainscoting and
original moldings.
#20. This house was built around the year 1840 to serve as the parsonage for the
Methodist -Episcopal Church. It was owned by the Trustees of the Church until the current
owner acquired it four years ago. When the parish merged with one in Trumansburg and
the community no longer supported its own minister, the parsonage was offered for rent.
It has been occupied by tenants during the ten years prior to its purchase by Diane Hillman.
