Cock-Cornelius House

Residential Buildings

Cock-Cornelius House, also known as the Wyckoff-Underhill House, is a historic home at Locust Valley in Nassau County, New York. It is a one- to two-and-a-half-story, U-shaped, wood-frame dwelling sheathed in wood shingles, with its main block rising two and a half stories and five bays wide. Local lore holds that the house was built around 1668, though this has been difficult to confirm; the oldest section that can be reliably dated is from the Federal period, about 1790. The house was later expanded in the 1840s and again in the 1920s and 1930s.

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
