It includes houses, churches, a church school and convent, a YMCA building, three parks and an archaeological site, mostly built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.","why_significant":"The district is valued for its collection of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century residences in a wide range of national architectural styles, many designed by local and regional architects. It also includes three landscapes associated with the Olmsted firm: Maplewood Park and the central malls of Lakeview Park and Seneca Parkway. It reflects the growth of Rochester's prosperous neighborhoods in the early twentieth century.","narrative":"Maplewood Historic District covers roughly 178 acres in northwest Rochester, about three miles from downtown and west of the Genesee River gorge. It takes in Seneca Parkway, Lakeview Park, parts of Lake Avenue, Maplewood Avenue, Park View Drive and the section of Maplewood Park south of Route 104. The district holds 245 contributing primary buildings, mostly large two-and-one-half-story houses, along with carriagehouses, garages, three churches, a church school and convent, and a YMCA building. Styles range from the Italianate house at 1017 Lake Avenue, built about 1870, to Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Prairie, Craftsman and Foursquare designs. Many were drawn by local architects. The Olmsted firm prepared landscape plans for Seneca Parkway in 1893 and for Lakeview Park in the late 1890s, giving both streets their park-like central malls. The district also contains archaeological remains of the Glen House, a resort hotel. Most buildings date from the early twentieth century, a period of expansion in Rochester.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architects named include Otto Block, Claude Bragdon, Crandall and Strobel, Foote and Headley, Frank G.
