DATE OF INITIAL CONSTRUCTION: ARCHITECT: BUILDER: 20. HISTORICAL. AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE: According to Nancy Deans.the town's historian, this building was known as "the Beehive" because families moved...in and out of ,the house after short periods of time.- She and the owners believe the house to be quite old, but are not sure of the -exact -date. Whether or nat it is the -same one, a house on this site appears on the 1853 map of Jacksonville. -In 1954 Ms. Dean referred to the house as the "Orville Updyke house: The Krafts believe that the previous owner,.Dick Shaw, bought it in the early.1960's and. removed part.of the house and moved it back on the lot. -What -is left of this building may be one of 'the earliest built at Jackson- ville's first area of settlement on New York State Route-96.and 21, SSOURCES: - Jacksonville Road..

THEME: Kraft, page 2 11. integrity: Sometime after 1954, the front section of the house was removed and the vertical part of the "T" was set back about twenty feet from New York State Route 96. This latter part of the original house still stands. The house was in disrepair when the Krafts bought it in 1969• Mr. Kraft installed new walls and insulation, and changed the shape of some of the windows. In 1971 the Krafts added two rooms onto the back of the house, giving it an L-shaped plan, projecting towards the south --east. They also added a screened porch to the south-west and south-east sides of the house, and one also on the rear, north- east side. A carport is attached to the south-east side of the porch. Most of the house now has a cinderblock foundation. 18. Building's notable features: the east corner of the south-west facade. The facade has a modern window of one large pane of glass with a double -hung, one over one light window on each side. On the south-east wall is a double hung, one over one light window and the entrance to the older part of the house on the right. A carport is attached to the porch on the south-east side. The corrugated metal roof is supported by three wooden poles. The addition is on a concrete foundation and is one story with a small crawlspace above it. The southwest wall has a modern rect- angular and horizontal one paned casement window with small non- functioning metal shutters. The southeast wa,11 has two modern windows side by side of the same description. The addition does not totally cover the older part of the house. The northeast gable end has one double hung one over one light window; to its left in the addition is a modern casement window with shutters matching the others. The two windows are separated by a corner board that appears to have marked the corner of the original part of the house. To the right of the double -hung window is a section which projects northeast. On its southeast side, the projection has a modern casement window with shutters matching the others. The northeast wall has a door and a double -hung one over one pane window to its right. This projecting section does not extend to the north- west corner of the house, and rests on a cinderblock foundation. A screened porch extends out about five feet and covers the majority of the northeast side of the house. It is covered by a green plastic corrugated roof, and has a screened door to the right of the entrance into the house. The porch is on a cement foundation An exterior cinderblock chimney is near the southeast side of the northeast end of the house. The northwest wall of the older part of the building has two double -hung one over one pane windows. The north west side of the projecting part of the addition has a modern casement window with shutters matching the others. Kraft, page 3 The one -and -a -half story barn in the rear northwest corner of the yard is separated by a fence and may be part of their neighbor's property to the left at 601 Jacksonville Road. Behind the barn is a small building the size of a privy. It has wooden shingles and a decorative design in wood on the back. 21. Sources: she took in 1954.
