The September Building of the Month award was presented to a rare Gothic Revival style house in the Village of Fayetteville, owned by former Manlius Mayor Mark-Paul Serifin.
The home, located at 109 E. Genesee St. in Fayetteville, was owned by Orrin S. Gillette, a local transfer agent from 1840-1876, and is a “wonderful example of the 1800’s architecture that has been preserved and maintained to enhance the Historic District,” according to the Fayetteville Historic Preservation Commission.
Serifin also owns 111 E. Genesee St in Fayetteville next door, an example of 1830’s Greek Revival style that has been beautifully preserved to enhance the village ‘s identity.
