It includes the commercial core, the oldest residential streets and a small group of railroad buildings on Railroad Avenue.","why_significant":"The district holds the village's densest concentration of historically and architecturally significant buildings, with Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne and other styles. Notable landmarks include St. Andrew's Church by Richard Upjohn, the stone Horace O. Moss House and railroad-era structures. The nomination treats it as significant at the local level.","narrative":"New Berlin's historic district covers 122 properties in a cross-shaped area centered on the village's Four Corners, west of the Unadilla River in Chenango County, New York. The commercial core, with flat-fronted frame and brick stores, gives way to tree-lined residential streets where houses sit behind deep lawns. Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate and Queen Anne houses mix along each street, with a few Gothic Revival and Bungalow examples. Churches include St. Andrew's, a fieldstone parish church designed by Richard Upjohn and built in 1847-48, and the stone Horace O. Moss House of 1831 is another landmark. A small cluster on Railroad Avenue holds a depot, hotel and feed store complex. The 1936 Art Deco central high school is counted as contributing for its design and hilltop setting. The boundary was drawn to leave out areas damaged by intrusive development and alterations, and only a few non-contributing buildings remain inside it.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Richard Upjohn (St. Andrew's Church)","architectural_style":"Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Colonial Revival, Bungalow, Art Deco","criteria":[],"status_note":"Mostly occupied; some commercial buildings are vacant or deteriorated, and a rehabilitation program begun in 1980 is improving the commercial area.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.522028-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82005025.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82005025/ec7f092d1a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82005025/ec7f092d1a-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:St._Andrew%27s_Episcopal_Church_New_Berlin_NY_May_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:St._Andrew%27s_Episcopal_Church_New_Berlin_NY_May_09.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316888","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Berlin_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7005504"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/chenango-county/new-berlin-historic-district-82005025/"}
