It is also marked under Criterion A for commerce. The added buildings now match the character and condition of those in the original district.","narrative":"Market Street in Corning's central business area holds a long row of commercial buildings, and this nomination extends the existing historic district westward by twelve buildings while adding a full building survey. The original district, listed in 1974, covered four blocks and 108 buildings but lacked a complete description. The added buildings had been left out earlier because of their dilapidated condition and owner disinterest, and they now resemble the original district in character and condition. Together the district totals 109 contributing and 11 non-contributing resources. The buildings range from c. 1850 Greek Revival and frame structures to Italianate, Victorian Gothic, Romanesque Revival and Renaissance Revival blocks, with Moderne and early twentieth-century facades. Notable examples include the Boston Store, Hayt's Mill Building, the former City Hall of 1893 and the Steuben Building. The district is recognized for commerce and architecture, with a period of significance from about 1850 to about 1950.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1850 - ca. 1950","architect_builder":"various","architectural_style":"Greek Revival, Romanesque Revival, Italianate, High Victorian Gothic, Classical Revival, Italian Renaissance, Moderne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Buildings are in commercial and residential use; current functions include specialty stores, restaurants, organizations and single dwellings.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.488431-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/00001152.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00001152/31d0bc3d2c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00001152/31d0bc3d2c-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Market_Street_Historic_District_Corning_NY_Nov_10.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Market_Street_Historic_District_Corning_NY_Nov_10.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75321995","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_Street_Historic_District_(Corning,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6770757"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/steuben-county/market-street-historic-district-boundary-increase-00001152/"}
