It is mainly residential, with four churches and an early commercial block.","why_significant":"The village grew up during the turnpike era, where the Seneca Turnpike and the Cherry Valley Turnpike met, and was later bypassed by canals, railroads and the Thruway. As a result, the district keeps the look of an early nineteenth century turnpike village. Its early buildings, including stepped-gable and pilastered houses, reflect the prosperity of that period.","narrative":"Manlius Village Historic District covers about fifteen acres on the eastern side of the village, where roughly fifty buildings stand along East Seneca, Pleasant, Franklin, North and Clinton Streets. Most are houses, with four churches and an early commercial block. The district grew where the Seneca Turnpike and the Cherry Valley Turnpike crossed, near what is now Academy Park, and the village was incorporated in 1813. Early buildings include brick structures with stepped gables, such as Smith Hall, the Masonic temple enlarged in 1824, and frame houses with slender pilasters. Christ Episcopal Church was moved to its present site in 1832, and later building campaigns added Greek Revival, Italianate and twentieth century work. Canals, railroads and the Thruway all bypassed Manlius, so it saw little concentrated development after the mid nineteenth century. That left a tree-shaded streetscape, with stone hitching posts and mounting blocks, that preserves the character of the turnpike era.","period_of_significance":"19th Century, 20th Century","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is marked excellent and good.
