The Shepard Family Houses are located at W. Genessee St. and Hannum St. in Skaneateles in Onondaga County, New York. They are two houses, built 1848 and 1901, and a carriage house of a prominent local family.

These are adjacent to the Sherwood Inn on W. Genessee St. which faces out to Skaneateles Lake.

"On the east is the historic Sherwood Inn, which was built in 1807 and has served guests for over 200 years. A driveway between the two residences accesses a carriage barn, once shared by the two houses. Today, the driveway provides access to the Sherwood Inn parking lot and to the carriage barn, part of which has become a bakery."

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Shepard Family Houses in 2015.[1]

It is a complex including the Colonial Revival Norman Orlando (N.O.) Shepard House faces West Genesee Street, and the late Queen Anne-style Norman Joseph (N.J.) Shepard house faces Hannum Street; however, doors and paths connect the two homes to one another".[2]
