History

The wood frame Federal-style house was built about 1827 and consists of five sections. The original house includes the 2+1⁄2-story rectangular main section and the attached 2-story north and west wings. In 1928, the structure was moved from the roadside to a nearby bank of the Honeoye Creek. ^[2] It was built by Sibley and was the site of his initial business ventures in milling and manufacturing. ^[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. ^[1]
