Although this house is a surprising retrogression, close inspection will reveal a sophistication and quality of execution not apparent in the buildings previously discussed.

In 1816 the site was purchased for $120 but lay undeveloped until its transfer in 1832 to Luther Marsh, a pioneer settler of Geddes. Shortly thereafter "Gardner Woolson" as he was popularly known, moved into the house built by Marsh and lived here many years.

This structure necessarily falsifies any assmptions that the Revivalists employed the current mode in their construction, for four years previous to this structure the "Salt Springs Temple" was built. With conservatives and liberals, just as there are today "Colonials" and Moderns, the entire Revival was a period of changing and interlacing phases and it is therefore that the reader should in no way infer from this survey any fixed formula for the Greek Revival in Syracuse.
