It contains mainly nineteenth-century commercial, residential and religious buildings laid out under founder John Lincklaen's original village plan.","why_significant":"The district holds the highest concentration of significant nineteenth-century buildings in Cazenovia and follows the original village plan drawn by John Lincklaen. It illustrates a small, relatively isolated village main street with commercial blocks and a range of Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate and later styles, largely undisturbed by modern change. The text provided does not include the formal Section 8 statement.","narrative":"Albany Street Historic District covers the main east-west street of Cazenovia, New York, along with Allen Street and parts of Mill, Lincklaen and South Streets. The area follows the village plan laid out by founder John Lincklaen and holds the village's highest concentration of significant nineteenth-century buildings. It falls into four segments: a commercial east end with brick and ashlar limestone blocks from about 1830 to 1870; a middle section around the village square mixing shops, homes and churches; a largely residential west end with large mid to late nineteenth-century houses, including the 1847 Gothic Cottage at 7 Albany Street; and Mill Street, with modest 1820s and 1830s homes built for mill owners. Other landmarks include the 1835 Lincklaen House hotel, the Greek Revival public library at 100 Albany Street, and St. Peter's Church. Cazenovia stayed small and isolated, and its tree-lined streets and Victorian commercial blocks remain largely free of modern alteration.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"John Lincklaen (village founder and planner); 7 Albany Street built in the style of A.J.
