Janney-Phillips House
This is another house constructed in two phases. Joseph
Janney built a small log house here shortly after 1781; this
is the beaded weatherboard-clad west portion of the house.
Thomas Phillips (c.1783-1842) added a one-story brick section
to the house before 1803. By 1816, the brick side had been
raised to two stories. The prominent Bond family made this
their home by 1827, living here at least through the Civil
War. |
Moore-Bond House
Asa Moore built this house sometime between 1805 and 1816
and then rented it to tenants. In later years, this was another
home of the Bond family. The brick dwelling on a stone foundation
is typical of Waterford Federal period dwellings, with Flemish
bond on the front, closers at the corners, common bond on
the sides and rear, and jack arches over the windows. A skilled
brickmason obviously constructed the house. |
The Good House
The builder of this 1995 home and its barn used local architectural
elements to harmonize them with their older neighbors. The
stone foundation, white weatherboard siding, and metal roof
all appear in many 19th-century structures in the village.
The Good House exemplifies "history-friendly construction" in
a National Historic District. |
The Tiscione House
This house was completed in 1996. The handmade bricks were
laid in flemish bond style; the decorative cornice echoes
those of earlier Waterford houses. The land on which this
and the Good House are built used to belong to the Ernest
James family who resided in the Janney-Phillips house for
much of the 20th century. The Waterford Foundation purchased
the land in the late 1980s then resold these two lots. |
