It contains 32 properties, mainly houses and two churches, built between about 1850 and 1930.","why_significant":"The district is described as the only concentration of substantially intact residential properties in Canastota and a record of one of the village's most fashionable 19th and early 20th century neighborhoods. It includes some of the village's best examples of Greek Revival, Italianate, Carpenter Gothic, High Victorian Gothic, Queen Anne/Eastlake and Colonial Revival architecture. The street's growth reflects the prosperity brought by the Erie Canal and the railroad.","narrative":"South Peterboro Street in Canastota, Madison County, is lined with large houses and two churches built between about 1850 and 1930. The eight-acre district takes in 32 properties on two blocks of the street and two on Terrace Avenue, most of them wood-frame buildings on broad landscaped lots under mature street trees. Greek Revival houses from the 1850s and Italianate houses from the 1860s and 1870s were followed by Queen Anne and Colonial Revival homes, many with their original carriage houses or garages. Anchors include the brick and stone First Baptist Church of about 1873 and the Carpenter Gothic Trinity Episcopal chapel of about 1885. The street was laid out early in the nineteenth century, settled at mid-century, and became a fashionable address as the Erie Canal and the railroad brought prosperity. Nearby streets have lost much of their historic character, so this section is the village's most intact residential grouping. One house, at 318 South Peterboro, is tied to the Rasbach family, namesake of Rasbach Street.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1850-ca. 1930","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival, Italianate, Carpenter Gothic, High Victorian Gothic, Queen Anne/Eastlake, Colonial Revival, plus vernacular and eclectic variants","criteria":[],"status_note":"Threats to the area are listed as none; the houses are mostly in residential use, with some converted to professional space and a former carriage house used as residential space.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:44.726028-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/86001288.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313442","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Peterboro_Street_Residential_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7568213"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/madison-county/south-peterboro-street-residential-historic-district-86001288/"}
