It includes 199 contributing resources: residential, commercial, civic and religious buildings plus six village parks, mostly built 1840-1900.","why_significant":"The district is significant under Criteria A and C for its role in the commerce, community development, education, settlement, industry, religion and social history of the village, and for its concentration of intact 19th and early 20th century architecture. It retains Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival buildings, and a distinctive set of six triangular village greens.","narrative":"Greenwich's historic district preserves the core of a village on both sides of the Battenkill River in Washington County, New York. Covering about 98 acres, it holds 199 contributing resources, including homes, shops, churches, a former academy and six small triangular parks formed where roads meet. Most buildings date from 1840 to 1900, though some are earlier, and modern intrusions are few. Main Street's commercial blocks are mainly brick and reflect Italianate design, rebuilt after fires that ended in 1868. Around Church, Main and Salem Streets stand the fashionable homes of early prominent families in Federal, Greek Revival, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles. Four churches and the 1848 Union Village Academy add institutional landmarks. The parks include memorials to local war veterans. The district was recognised for its role in the village's commerce, settlement, industry, education and religion, and for its architecture, with a period of significance from 1778 to 1934.","period_of_significance":"1778 - 1934","architect_builder":"Architects: A.R.
