HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE: Little is known about this house, and its present owners"are uncommunicative'. Amos Barns bought the house in 1961 (Deed Book -434, p. 903). Mildred Hubbell acquired it -from the Barns:estate in 1967 (Book 471., p. 421) and is the present owner. = The house is one of the group of Greek Revival'buildings sur- rounding the crossroads of New York State Route 96 and the Jacksonville Road. This building -is unique architecturally and was most likely.built in Jacksonville's greatest period of growth and prosperity in the first half of the nineteenth century. 21.

Interrelationship of building and surroundings: Revival home and the cinderblock "Village Grocery," and to the left is a well-preserved Greek Revival house. 18. potable features: of the building; it is flanked by square pilasters which appear to hold up a rather thick entabulature. On either side of the pilasters and above the entabulature are sidelights and a transom; the sidelights are panelled at the bottom, as is the door. The house has a very thin friezeboard and entabulature which does not return on the gable ends. A flush -gable brick chimney is on the southeast gable end. The four windows on the northwest gable end are boarded over, as are the two on the upper story of the southeast Fable end. The one-story section attached perpendicular to the gable end is separated by one of :the house's thin corner boards. Two windows with one over one lights flank a door with twelve glass panes and a china knob. The entrance is inaccessible since there are no steps leading up to it. The window to the far left of these is double - hung with nine over six panes. A brick chimney is central- ly placed in this section. On the first story, the two windows on the southeast side of the gable end match those on the facade. A smaller gable end is joined to the main part of the house by the one-story section perpendicular to it. This diminutive gable matches the fenestration on the larger one except for its two small, square one pane windows on the second story. The glass in these is old and uneven. A small porch is appended to the rear of this section and appears to have been added at a later date. The upper half con- sists of small glass panes, while the rest is rough flush - board. The rest of the northeast end not covered by the porch has a rough plank door with two windows to its right, one with six panes, the other with four. The second story has one double -hung window with nine over six lights and very thin mutins. A well is near the smaller ggble end on this side. Hubbell page 3 18. continued: The middle section perpendicular to the road has a low, sloping metal roof over a porch. The roof is supported by square posts. Each end: of the porch area has been blocked in to form a small room on either side. The built-in area in the southwest corner has one double -hung window with one over one lights, while the other section was blocked in with six inch planks similar to those on the rest of the back porch wall. An entrance is in this section; the door has glass panes above and is panelled below. On the middle section of the porch which is not blocked in is another, more modern door with a double -hung, one over one lights window to the right. There are two barns in the yard; both are 1 to 12 stories and are constructed of board and batten. Gne has a metal roof while the other has wood shingles. near the southeast corner of the northeast end of the house is a brick smoke- house in excellent condition. It is about four by three feet, has a rough flushboard door and new shingles on the roof, and a stone foundation. 19. Date of Construction: is as yet undiscovered for this building, its early Greek Revival style would tend to indicate a fairly early date. A building on this site appears on the 1853 map of Jacksonville.
