Clinton Village Historic District

Clinton's historic core in Oneida County, New York, centers on a village green given to the community by first settler Moses Foote in 1794. The 94-acre district takes in the green and the buildings around it, plus the homes and churches along six streets that radiate outward. It counts 169 residences, 24 commercial structures, 6 churches and 4 public buildings erected between 1800 and 1926. The styles range from the Federal-style Williams House of about 1820 to the Georgian Revival Lumbard Town Hall of 1926. Three-story brick commercial blocks from the 1860s and 1870s show Italianate details, and the Romanesque Stone Presbyterian Church dates from 1878. Side streets hold two-story frame houses, many in Greek Revival, Italianate and Stick styles. The boundaries enclose the village's most historically and architecturally important areas, where design and materials remain most intact. Five buildings are considered non-contributing, and the rest of the village is characterized by modern and altered buildings.
