It centers on Main, Broad and Grove Streets and has buildings dating from about 1830 to 1930.","why_significant":"The district holds a high concentration of architecturally significant buildings from 1830 to 1930 that keep their integrity of design, material and style. It shows Oneida's growth from its 1830 settlement to its heyday as a railroad and canal shipping center, and it served as the elite residential neighborhood of the town's prominent citizens, bankers, merchants and professionals.","narrative":"This 82-acre residential district lies just south of downtown Oneida, in Madison County, New York. It includes 197 properties, mostly houses, along with two schools, five churches and a park. Main and Broad Streets run parallel through the area and were developed from the 1830s as the elite neighborhood of the village's bankers, merchants and professionals. The buildings span Federal and Greek Revival houses, Gothic Revival cottages, many Italianate and Italian Villa residences, Queen Anne and Shingle style homes, and early twentieth century Colonial Revival, Tudor and Bungalow designs. The oldest surviving structure in Oneida, the 1832 stone Breese house at 432 Main Street, stands here. A small turn-of-the-century planned neighborhood near Elizabeth, Grove and Wilbur Streets was developed by businessman J. Will Chappell. Regular setbacks, lot sizes, tree-lined streets and surviving barns and carriage houses add to the setting. Only three buildings are non-contributing, and the boundaries enclose the area that best keeps its historic character.","period_of_significance":"1830-1930","architect_builder":"Melvin H.
