It holds 52 contributing buildings and 2 contributing sites dating from about 1795 to 1900.","why_significant":"The district is argued to be a substantially intact crossroads community showing how a rural Montgomery County hamlet developed from the Federal period to the end of the nineteenth century. It reflects local settlement patterns, trade, agriculture and vernacular building practice. Its Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate and Second Empire buildings illustrate regional architecture.","narrative":"Glen is a small crossroads hamlet on a ridge about four miles south of the Mohawk River in Montgomery County, New York. Its historic core contains 26 principal properties along Route 30A, Route 161 and Logtown Road, built between about 1795 and 1900. Most are modest timber-framed houses, barns and shops, with a few brick landmarks: the 1818 Federal residence of Jacob Sanders Glen, the namesake of the hamlet, an 1878 Second Empire house, and the 1875 Italianate Glen Reformed Church. Other surviving buildings include an 1831 church hall, an 1860 Greek Revival schoolhouse, a relocated Grange Hall, a mid-century country store and farms with an early Dutch barn. The hamlet served travelers on two roads and trade for dairy farmers, though the canal and railway bypassed it. Its nineteenth-century development and vernacular architecture are the reasons for its listing. An early brick store was lost to fire in 2000, but its site remains.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1795-ca. 1900","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal; Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival; Late Victorian/Second Empire, Italianate","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Most buildings remain in residential, commercial, religious and agricultural use.
