Most buildings date from initial settlement in 1801 to 1900.","why_significant":"The district preserves the early character and scale of a former military base and shipping port, with fine Federal and Greek Revival buildings. Its houses and sites are tied to the War of 1812 and to the village's founders and early settlers. Few buildings were added after the railroad era, so the nineteenth-century layout survives.","narrative":"Sackets Harbor Village Historic District covers the central core of a small lakeside village on Black River Bay in Jefferson County, New York. It holds 156 buildings on 71 acres, set on limestone cliffs above a natural deep-water harbor. The village grew from a settlement of 1801 into a strategic military base and shipping port, with an Army post from 1812 to 1946. It never developed a large commercial or industrial base, and the wide, tree-lined streets and spacious nineteenth-century homes reflect that residential history. Nearly thirty percent of the buildings show Greek Revival influence, and several are outstanding Federal houses. Notable examples include the Augustus Sacket House of 1802-1803, used as headquarters and a hospital in the War of 1812, the limestone George Tisdale House, the brick Cup and Saucer House, an 1818 limestone mill, and Christ Episcopal Church, whose present building dates from 1832. Only thirteen intrusions break the early character of the district.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Augustus Sacket (Sacket House); Elisha Camp (the Mill); Dennis Brooks (Brooks House); Captain Augustus Pickering (shipbuilder, house at 503 West Main)","architectural_style":"Predominantly Greek Revival and Federal, with Italianate, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Bungalow and vernacular buildings","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as a largely intact residential village of 990 people with only thirteen scattered intrusions; the Sacket House was being rehabilitated as a visitor center.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:42.331695-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/83001683.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318274","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sackets_Harbor_Village_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7396819"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/jefferson-county/sackets-harbor-village-historic-district-83001683/"}
