It spans about 550 acres and includes 247 contributing resources, mostly built between 1840 and 1900.","why_significant":"The district is a largely intact 19th and early 20th century village with a wide range of architectural styles, from Federal to Bungalow. It keeps a late 19th-century commercial core rebuilt after the 1867 and 1889 fires, along with churches, civic buildings, cemeteries and a stone arch bridge. The form notes few modern intrusions and a high degree of integrity. The form text provided does not include the Section 8 statement of significance.","narrative":"Antwerp's historic district takes in most of the village's built-up area in northeastern Jefferson County, New York. The Indian River crosses the village, and a limestone arch bridge of 1880 links the commercial blocks on the north with the residential streets to the south. Along Main Street, three blocks of common-walled Italianate-inspired shops were rebuilt largely in stone and brick after fires in 1867 and 1889. Across the street stand the Richardsonian Romanesque Town Hall, the Gothic Revival Congregational Church of 1876, and the Crosby Memorial Library of 1917. Residential streets show Federal houses, modest Greek Revival working-class dwellings, high-style Italianate homes, and Stick-style rows on Hoyt Avenue. St. Michael's Church, built in 1816 and attributed to Joseph-Jacques Ramee, is among the oldest buildings. The district also includes a memorial park with a Civil War monument, two cemeteries, and outbuildings. Of 276 resources, 247 contribute to its character, and few modern intrusions disturb the village's historic appearance.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Joseph-Jacques Ramee (attributed, St. Michael's Church); Ezra Church (Copeland House, 1816); David D.
