Early twentieth century railroad and trolley service also left its mark. The former canal bed, converted to a landscaped park by the W.P.A. around 1930, helps explain canal and aqueduct construction.","narrative":"Jordan Village Historic District covers about 34 acres in western Onondaga County, New York. It holds seventy-three commercial, residential and church buildings, most built between about 1820 and the early 1930s, arranged along Main Street and around the former Erie Canal bed. Jordan grew after one of the earliest sections of the Erie Canal was built through the village in 1819, with the Jordan Feeder supplying water power to its mills. By 1836 the village had grist mills, saw mills, taverns and many shops. Surviving landmarks include the White grist mill, the Jordan Hotel, the Old Tavern, Christ Church Episcopal and the Hendricks Block. Styles range from Federal and Greek Revival to Italianate, Gothic Revival and Queen Anne. Similar scale, materials and craftsmanship give the area a cohesive character. Around 1930 the canal bed became a W.P.A. park that preserves aqueduct remains. Only five modern buildings do not contribute to the district's historic character.","period_of_significance":"1810-1930","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mixed nineteenth and early twentieth century styles, including Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Gothic Revival, Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is marked excellent and altered; the district is occupied and used for commercial, residential, religious, government and industrial purposes.
