Hawley-Green Street Historic District (Boundary Increase)

Hawley-Green Street is a compact residential neighborhood on the near northeast side of Syracuse, with about fifty buildings along Hawley and Green Streets and the adjoining parts of McBride, Howard and Lodi Streets. Nearly every popular style from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries appears here, from a few modest Greek Revival cottages of the 1840s and 1850s to the Italianate Beadle houses on Hawley Avenue. The north side of the 200 block of Green Street holds the grandest homes, including a Queen Anne house with a cylindrical tower built in 1890 for a congressman and a Romanesque residence with Eastlake porches. Greenway Place, built in 1882 as fourteen Second Empire units on the site of a brewery, was later given Tudor facades. Settlement by Irish and German immigrants began in the 1850s, and trolley lines encouraged later growth. Many large houses have since become apartments, but the district remains one of the few relatively intact residential areas in the surrounding part of the city.
