It has 20 contributing and 5 noncontributing buildings on about 3 acres, and the twelve main houses were built in 1919-1921 as mill workers' housing.","why_significant":"The district is architecturally significant as an intact enclave of company-sponsored workers' houses from the last phase of that house type. The twelve Craftsman-influenced Bungalow houses, with some Colonial Revival details, show national trends in corporate housing and residential planning. They remain virtually unchanged and are rare surviving traces of the village's paper-milling era.","narrative":"Lake George Avenue Historic District is a small residential neighborhood in Ticonderoga, New York, overlooking the LaChute River. It includes twelve houses and eight garages built between 1919 and 1921 by the Ticonderoga Pulp and Paper Company under local builder William A. Gale, originally to be rented to mill management. The wood-frame homes share clapboard and shingle siding, long sloping roofs over recessed porches, grouped windows, bracketed eaves and some Colonial Revival detailing. Gale used two standard plans, a rectangle and an L-shape, and varied the ready-made details on each house. Two older houses from the 1890s are within the boundary but do not contribute. The district is significant as a well-preserved example of company-sponsored workers' housing from the final phase of that tradition, and it relates closely to the Amherst Avenue district by the same builder. After the mills were demolished in the early 1970s, these homes remained as rare reminders of the local paper industry.","period_of_significance":"1919-1921","architect_builder":"W.A.
