English: The Moses Crapsey Homestead, 4878 Sunset Drive, Lockport, New York, May 2022. With a style that is best described as a vernacularized iteration of the then-trendy Greek Revival (though do note a number of unexpected high-style touches in the ornamentation, such as the original transom and sidelights framing the front entrance) appended to the classic T-shaped floor plan ever popular in America's agricultural interior, this circa 1837 residence is notable as one of the few remaining cut-stone houses in the Town of Lockport. It once stood at the center of a vast 163-acre expanse of orchards, vineyards, hayfields, cultivated crops, and dairyland belonging to Moses Crapsey (1802-1888), one of Lockport's most prominent and prosperous citizens of his era. Aside from farming, Crapsey held a number of local civic and institutional posts such as on seats on the board of directors of the Cambria-Lockport Plank Road Company and the Niagara Agricultural Society. He also used part of his land as an event space known as "Crapsey's Grove", hosting a wide range of public picnics, band concerts and other community happenings. The house is now owned by Cozy Resort Cattery, a cat boarding facility.
