Buildings date from the early 1800s through the early twentieth century.","why_significant":"The district is significant for the quality of its architecture and as a reflection of the village's development from a frontier outpost into a trade and transportation center, and later a dairy-industry hub. Entrepreneurs Baron de Zeng and Colonel Richard Juliand shaped its early growth, and the post-Civil War railroad boom produced most of the commercial buildings. Its houses show a full range of nineteenth and early twentieth century styles.","narrative":"Bainbridge Historic District covers more than 100 properties in a Chenango County village, arranged around a landscaped village green with a bandstand, fountain and monuments. Two early churches and a cemetery face the green, while brick commercial blocks line the first block of North Main Street and the north side of West Main Street. Residential streets hold houses in Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Stick and Queen Anne styles, along with a few bungalows and a Mission style gas station. The district reflects the village's growth from a frontier outpost, once called Jericho, into a stagecoach and trade center promoted by Baron de Zeng and Colonel Richard Juliand. The arrival of the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad in 1867 supported a dairy-based boom, and most commercial buildings date from that period. Areas of modern development and heavily altered older neighborhoods were left out, so the boundary encloses the village's best-preserved historic core.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899, 1900-","architect_builder":"various","architectural_style":"Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Stick, Queen Anne and other nineteenth and early twentieth century styles","criteria":[],"status_note":"Most of the district is described as retaining its historic integrity with very few intrusions; several modern gas stations and a telephone exchange are listed as non-contributing.
