Description
House located in an area of Forest Home (now residential) where there were once a number of mill buildings. This house originally was the Hazen Knitting Mill ... producing fine ladies' hosiery. The small mill building was rebuilt as a residence some time after 1850 in the Italianate-Victorian style. The fine staircase and interior woodwork were added after the building became a dwelling.
According to https://www.fhia.org/free-hollow-to-forest-home-appendix/ the house was owned by D. Comfort in 1866. The house appears on the map of Free Hollow in the 1866 Tompkins County Atlas.
