It includes seven buildings, a park and a war memorial, mostly 19th-century, dating from 1809 to 1921.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the district is an intact collection of late nineteenth-century buildings, many of them homes of Ogdensburg's prominent citizens. It is also seen as the city's cultural and recreational center because of the public library, the Remington Art Museum and the park. Its residents' intertwined histories reflect the industrial, historical and cultural development of the city.","narrative":"Library Park Historic District occupies about seven acres in the center of Ogdensburg, New York, next to the St. Lawrence River. It groups seven buildings, a landscaped park and a Civil War memorial, mostly from the 19th century. The oldest building is the Federal-style Parish Mansion of 1809-10, now the Remington Art Museum. Nearby are the public library, remodeled in 1921 as a partial replica of an earlier Greek Revival house, and several Queen Anne residences, including the Dillingham, Newell and Augsbury houses. Two modest vernacular houses on Caroline Street complete the group. The park opened in 1903, and the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, designed by sculptor Sally James Farnham, followed in 1905. The district was listed because it preserves the look of a nineteenth-century neighborhood and because its prominent residents, including mayors and business leaders, were closely tied to the library, the museum and the industrial growth of the city. Its role as the city's cultural and recreational center adds to its local importance.","period_of_significance":"1809-1921","architect_builder":"various","architectural_style":"Federal, Queen Anne, Greek Revival (recreated), Italianate and vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good and altered.
