It has 34 houses, one church and a parish hall.","why_significant":"The district is argued to be a significant collection of nineteenth-century architectural styles in central New York and the home of many of Baldwinsville's prominent citizens. Most houses are local interpretations of popular styles, and two buildings were designed by regional architects Horatio Nelson White and Ward Wellington Ward. It remains intact and cohesive in scale, materials and setting.","narrative":"This residential neighborhood on the hill north of Baldwinsville's business district overlooks the Seneca River. Its roughly 50 acres hold 34 houses, a church and a parish hall, built from the 1820s into the early twentieth century. By the mid-1880s the area had become the village's elite residential section, home to bankers, mill and company owners, merchants, legislators and professionals. The houses show Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Shingle, Second Empire and Tudor Revival designs, many of them local versions of popular styles. Two buildings came from well-known central New York architects: the Gothic Revival First Presbyterian Church of 1865 by Horatio Nelson White, and the Tudor Revival house called Applecrest of 1924 by Ward Wellington Ward. Residents included Judge Otis Bigelow and his banking sons, and the historian and archaeologist William Beauchamp. The district was listed as the best concentration of fine nineteenth and early twentieth century buildings in the village, with only three intrusions.","period_of_significance":"1830-1920","architect_builder":"Various; including Horatio Nelson White (First Presbyterian Church, 1865), H.
