Maple Street Historic District

Maple Street Historic District occupies about 35 acres in the northern half of Addison, in southeastern Steuben County, New York. It runs from Wombough Square at the west end along Maple Street to Curtis Square at the east end, and the buildings face inward toward these tree-lined public squares. The district includes 42 contributing primary buildings, 39 of them residences and three of them churches, along with carriage barns, garages, stone hitching posts, and the two squares. Construction dates from about 1832 to 1905, with most buildings from the later nineteenth century, when Addison prospered through railroads and a sash, blind, and millwork industry. Styles range from Greek Revival and Gothic Revival to Italianate, Queen Anne, Second Empire, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman. Many houses keep original woodwork and some local stained glass. Because the streetscape and buildings remain largely intact, the district is regarded as Addison's most prestigious historic residential neighborhood.
