Randolph Historic District

Randolph's historic district takes in the village's main commercial blocks and the residential streets around them, in southwestern Cattaraugus County, New York. It holds 268 contributing buildings, one contributing site known as The Point, and one structure, with most buildings dating from 1826 to the 1880s. The east end of Main Street has two- and three-story masonry storefronts that remain largely unchanged from the 1870s commercial boom. West of the core are homes in Greek Revival, Italianate, Gothic Revival, Second Empire and Shingle styles, with Greek Revival dominant; some early land sales required that style. Industry sits on the western lots, including the 1907 Borden's Condensery, which still houses manufacturing, and the Randolph Grist Mill, built in 1853 in East Randolph and rebuilt on Main Street in 1908. Tree-lined streets, historic brick paving on Washington and Bank Streets, and consistent lot patterns give the district a character close to its late nineteenth-century appearance.
