Town of Cazenovia and Madison County Maps
This Greek Revival-style house at 4573 Route 92, Cazenovia, was built about 1844 by James Beckwith with cobblestones hauled in from the shoreline of Lake Ontario. For many years it was the residence of Stewart F. Hancock, a prominent Syracuse attorney. He made extensive alterations and added columns on the south wing. Richard Palmer blog.
