  • Builder Date: |1895| ca? ⁸⁾
  • Builder Note: According to nearsteuben1911v1, (pp 279-280) “He therefore, on July 1, 1893, turned everything over to his assignee. Mrs. Crane was the owner of an untilled few acres in Schuyler county, New York, to which, after leasing her home in Hornellsville, they removed. There they lived in a small, cheap and unfinished house, which was called “The Crane's Nest.” Mrs. Crane, after disposing of her Hornellsville property, purchased the farm in the town of Wayne, on the west bank of Lake Waneta, the former home of Gen. william_kernan, and opposite to the “Crane's Nest” on the east side of this lake. Here a pleasant and comfortable home was built, to which the General and Mrs. Crane, with their daughter Marion and youngest son, Guy M. Crane, removed and ventured into the business of farming and grape-raising.” Although the above does not declare that the Crane House was built after they moved to the east side of lake Waneta, if it was, and was already built at the time of his death in 1901, it was built some time between 1893 and 1901. ⁹⁾
