It was the community center for the city's German immigrants and later Italians. It holds a largely intact collection of Victorian commercial architecture, mostly Italianate, with Revival-style examples.","narrative":"North Salina Street runs through Syracuse's Northside and links the early villages of Salina and Syracuse. This district covers 98 properties between Union Place and Butternut Street, plus a few houses on Prospect Avenue. Most are brick commercial rows built from the 1860s into the early twentieth century, with shops on the ground floor and apartments or offices above. Italianate facades with round-arched windows and corbeled cornices predominate, alongside Queen Anne corner blocks with turrets, a Second Empire building, a Victorian Gothic facade and Mediterranean Revival buildings tied to Italian settlers. The street served as the community center for German immigrants through much of the nineteenth century. Landmarks include Assumption Church, designed by Horatio Nelson White and built in 1865, and the 1896 Albany Block at the fork with Prospect Avenue. Two early houses, one Federal and one Greek Revival, survive within later rows. Of the 98 properties, 85 contribute to the district's character and 15 are modern or heavily altered.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Horatio Nelson White (Assumption Church, 812 N.
