420 East Seneca Street

Only three families have occupied this house, which was built in 1864. This may explain why the house has retained all its original Greek Revival elements including the front-facing gable, the two-story, three-bay structure, and the off-center doorway framed by sidelights and transom window.

Several houses on the block show similar stylistic origins, although most of them have been remodeled and are not as “pure” as this one. (See for example the houses at 424 and 408 East Seneca Street.)
