According to the NRHP Archive:
Believed to have been built during the 1860s/70s, 13 Grove Street is a two-story, five-bay-wide, two-bay-deep, brick building dominated by a projecting front pavilion and a profusion of Eastlake-inspired ornamentation. The main block reflects the influence of the Italianate mode, with paired, floor-hung windows in the front gable of the projecting pavilion. The front façade is spanned by a hip-roofed verandah distinguished by chamfered post atop paneled plinths, segmentally arched knee braces, scroll-sawn brackets and turned drop pendants. Pierced, Eastlake-inspired woodwork embellishes the apex of the cross-gable of the front pavilion.
13 Grove Street embodies a variety of features associated with the eclecticism that characterized post-Civil War architecture in the region. Exhibiting a high level of sophistication and fine craftsmanship, the building recalls the prosperity of the late nineteenth century heyday of Mount Morris as the county seat of Livingston County and as a center of commerce and light industry, particularly agribusinesses.
Little is known of the builder and/or the early occupants of the house, although the building appears on an 1872 map of the village with a D.J. Rockfellow identified as the owner. According to a 1902 map, the owner at that time was an O. Allen.
