East Main Street Historic District

East Main Street Historic District is a residential area just east of Westfield's commercial center in Chautauqua County, New York. It holds twenty buildings and a cemetery across about 28 acres. Most buildings date from the mid-19th to early 20th century, and the styles include Italianate, Italian Villa, Gothic Revival, Second Empire, Colonial Revival, Neo-Georgian and Bungalow. Brick and clapboard houses with cupolas, brackets and cast-iron details anchor the corners, while early 20th century homes fill lots between them. The 1853 house at 189 East Main was designed by local architect-builder Elias Barger. Westfield Cemetery, purchased by the village in 1840, runs north to Academy Street along a maple-lined road. Main Street was an early stagecoach route and the site of the village's first commercial buildings. The district was listed for its intact architecture and landscape and its link to the village's growth. A later amendment added the Queen Anne style Storm House, built about 1896 and moved to 145 East Main Street in 2000.
