Under Criterion C, it contains highly intact early twentieth-century Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival buildings applied to public uses. The buildings' central location in the planned village is also cited as significant.","narrative":"Three small civic buildings and a historic fire alarm form the municipal center of Bellerose, a village in western Nassau County laid out in a fan-shaped street pattern around the railroad station. The Village Hall, a Colonial Revival building with a gambrel roof, was completed in 1925 for the Bellerose Women's Club and sold to the village in 1985. Next to it stands the Tudor Revival Fire Hall, finished in 1930 after years of fundraising, with stucco walls and half-timbering. The police booth, built in 1935 on Magee Plaza, repeats the Tudor Revival style. An iron hoop alarm once rung to summon volunteer firefighters stands near the Fire Hall. The complex was listed for its role in how the village, incorporated in the 1920s, provided services and community gathering space, and for its intact revival-style architecture. All three buildings are described as well maintained, with original doors, trim and interior features still in place.","period_of_significance":"1925-1956","architect_builder":"Anthony Waldeier (police booth)","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival; Colonial Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The three buildings are described as well maintained and retaining a high degree of historic integrity; they remain in use as Village Hall, fire station and police booth.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.551919-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/06000889.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000889/6ac8e4c90c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000889/6ac8e4c90c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"jim.henderson","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bellerose_Village_Municipal_Complex_2012-09-27_jeh.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">jim.henderson</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bellerose_Village_Municipal_Complex_2012-09-27_jeh.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75319073","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellerose_Village_Municipal_Complex","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4883819"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/nassau-county/bellarose-village-municipal-complex-06000889/"}
