The pin is a point inside the NPS boundary polygon, not a surveyed location.
Why it's listed
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.
Significance in brief: The district is described as Addison's most prestigious residential enclave, with a cohesive set of 19th and early-20th-century houses, churches, and public squares in a wide range of styles. It reflects the village's growth, especially in the second half of the 19th century when its sash, blind, and millwork industry and railroads brought prosperity. It retains a high degree of integrity, with only four non-contributing primary buildings.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
