Cayuga County properties recommended for historic registers

A pair of Cayuga County properties in Sherwood are among the 29 included in the state Board of Historic Preservation's recommendations for the state and national registers of historic places.
The board recommended the Augustus Howland House, which is located in the town of Ledyard. It is an early-19th century farmhouse that was enlarged and aggrandized in the Italianate style in the 1850s and 1860s, according to the board's press release.

It also recommended the Job and Deborah Otis House in the town of Scipio. A prominent Quaker family had that Federal-style house built in 1815.

Inclusion on the historic registers enhances a property's ability to secure public preservation grants and services.

The board is an independent panel of experts that reviews submissions and makes recommendations to the state historic preservation officer.

The state Historic Preservation Office and the National Park Service jointly administer the program.

" Gosh, two places practically within a stone's throw of where I live! The Howland House is especially lovely, but it doesn't look like it needs much help. The well-to-do owners live out of town and only come by once in a while -- but they keep it up beautifully. (They might need help getting rid of the weasel living under the porch with the skunks though). "

" Securing public preservation grants and services. Is that what they did for the Shrine Theater downtown? Still waiting to see how long before that is actually finished. Why start another preservation on another property if you can't finish the ones you already started!!!! "
