It covers sections of Lake Road and Jay Street and holds mostly Federal and Greek Revival frame houses built between about 1810 and 1850.","why_significant":"The district is the historic core of Pultneyville and reflects its early-to-mid-nineteenth-century prosperity as a Great Lakes shipping port and market place for local farmers. It contains well-crafted Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate and Second Empire buildings, many tied to early prominent citizens in shipping and lake transportation. The Section 8 statement is not included in the provided text, so the stated criteria are unknown.","narrative":"Pultneyville is a small hamlet on the south shore of Lake Ontario, surrounded by fruit and dairy farms. Its historic district takes in thirty-five properties along parts of Lake Road and Jay Street, including Mill and Washington Streets, across about thirty-seven acres. Most buildings are modest to fairly sophisticated Federal and Greek Revival frame houses from about 1810 to 1850, many on large landscaped lots with nineteenth-century outbuildings. Standouts include the cobblestone Horatio Nelson Throop House of about 1832, the Washington Throop House of about 1828, an Italianate brick house of about 1850, and a Second Empire brick mansion of the 1860s. Later structures include a former hotel from about 1887 and a former fire station from about 1890. The district was recognized because these buildings reflect the community's early prosperity as a Great Lakes shipping port and market for local farmers. The commercial and religious center west of the district lost its architectural integrity and was left out.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal and Greek Revival, with Italianate and Second Empire examples","criteria":[],"status_note":"Largely occupied private residences; the form lists condition as fair and unaltered, on its original site.
