The intersection was laid out by Holland Land Company planners in the 1790s.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the district as a grouping of architecturally significant buildings showing a range of 19th-century styles, including Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Second Empire and Queen Anne. The consistent scale, materials and design quality give it harmony. The district also preserves the village's earliest commercial core and the homes built during its economic prosperity.","narrative":"Boonville's historic district gathers the village's oldest commercial and residential streets around a triangular intersection that Holland Land Company planners laid out in the 1790s. The Hulbert House, a three-story Trenton limestone inn enlarged in 1839 from an 1812 building, anchors the eastern point. Nearby stands a brick Second Empire building of 1866, designed by Utica architect Azel J. Lathrop for Boonville's first locally organized bank and now used for municipal offices. A small park with an octagonal bandstand and a Civil War monument sits at the center. Along Schuyler, Post and West Streets are houses and churches from the early 1800s onward. They include Federal buildings such as the 1802 first village school, a Gothic Revival cottage influenced by A.J. Downing, Trinity Episcopal Church of 1857-58, and many Italianate residences with towers and cupolas. Standing seam metal roofs, consistent scale and quality materials unify the varied styles.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Azel J. Lathrop (Utica architect); Louis A.
