It follows Main Street, the former Skaneateles and Hamilton Turnpike, and takes in parts of Academy and Pettit Streets and Fabius Evergreen Cemetery. The village grew after the turnpike was completed around 1810, and the 1830s and early 1840s brought its greatest prosperity, built on local agriculture. Most of the 65 contributing resources are frame houses from the first half of the nineteenth century, many in vernacular Federal and Greek Revival styles, with several early Gothic Revival examples. Churches include the First Baptist Church of 1818, the Free Will Baptist Church of 1869 by Mathias Berry, and the Methodist church of 1827. Fabius Central School, built about 1930 in the Collegiate Gothic style and designed by Earl Hallenbeck, represents the twentieth century. Maple-lined streets, deep setbacks and farm outbuildings on Academy Street preserve the village's early character.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Mathias Berry (Free Will Baptist Church, 1869); Earl Hallenbeck (Fabius Central School, c. 1930); Irving Skeele (remodeling of the Stevens-Wheaton-Hamilton House, c. 1900)","architectural_style":"Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Romanesque, Collegiate Gothic","criteria":[],"status_note":"Current functions include single and multiple dwellings, school, religious facilities, specialty store, cemetery and clubhouse.
