It includes eighty buildings, the Village Cemetery and the Village Green, and the oldest structure dates from about 1810. Most buildings are modest local adaptations of popular styles, with Greek Revival the most characteristic, especially around the Green and at the northern entrance to the district. The village was laid out on New England models by David Hotchkiss, who set aside the Green as a public square, and Elias Whittemore later drew businesses from the older Oquaga settlement. Whip manufacturing, which became the main industry by the late 1850s, funded many of the more elegant houses and the brick commercial blocks along south Main Street, rebuilt after fires. The Gothic Revival Zion Episcopal Church is attributed to Richard Upjohn. The original street layout and business district location survive, with only eleven intrusions.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Zion Episcopal Church reputedly from designs by Richard Upjohn; individual buildings by local builders such as Lambert Sanford, Rodney Guernsey and James Chapel","architectural_style":"Greek Revival predominant, with Federal, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne and other styles","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as occupied and in excellent condition; eleven intrusions interrupt its architectural integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.541844-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/80002593.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002593/bb56eeb54b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002593/bb56eeb54b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.0","author":"Doug Kerr from Upstate New York","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Windsor_Village_Green_Aug_09.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Doug Kerr from Upstate New York</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Windsor_Village_Green_Aug_09.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316624","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor_Village_Historic_District_(Windsor,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8024725"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/broome-county/windsor-village-historic-district-80002593/"}
