The village plan dates from about 1817 and the district holds civic, commercial, religious, educational and residential buildings.","why_significant":"The district keeps the physical integrity of a planned Holland Land Company village from c1817 to 1935. Its symmetrical street plan, public square with civic buildings, post-1890 fire-rebuilt commercial blocks and residential West Washington Street show how the village developed. The full Section 8 statement and criteria are not in the supplied text.","narrative":"Ellicottville Historic District covers the core of a village in western New York laid out around 1817 on a planned grid. Two main streets, Washington and Jefferson, cross at a public square, where the county courthouse, clerk's office, school and St. John's Episcopal Church were originally sited. The district includes the commercial blocks along Washington and Monroe Streets, largely rebuilt in brick after an 1890 fire, along with a civic zone on Jefferson Street and a residential zone on West Washington Street. Buildings range from Federal-style houses and a stepped-gable courthouse to Gothic Revival, Italianate and Queen Anne structures, and the \"Brick Block\" of 1852-3 has an iron storefront and cornice. A 1990 village survey set the boundaries to include buildings that retain integrity from c1817 to 1935. The district was listed because it preserves the village plan and the civic, commercial, religious, educational and residential architecture of that period.","period_of_significance":"c1817-1935","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic (Early Classical), Mid-19th Century (Greek Revival and other), Late Victorian (Italianate, Queen Anne), Federal, Gothic Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Current functions include single dwellings, specialty stores, city hall, religious facilities and a museum.
