North Main Street Historic District
About this property
The North Main Street Historic District in the village of Moravia, New York is a national historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The district contains one contributing object and 44 contributing buildings. The majority of the buildings were built between 1870 and 1890 and display the features associated with Italianate style architecture. Italianate architecture in the United States is characterized by use of wide, even "emphatic", eaves supported by paired or single brackets (which seem to have designs unique to each building), low-pitched or flat roofs often not visible from the ground, and often cupolas or towers, as if the architecture were for a hilltop villa in Italian countryside, while in fact in the U.S. being sometimes upon a hilltop in the country but more often in town/city environments. Another characteristic is usage of round-topped windows. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The district can be said to start with the "Brick Store" building at the northwest corner of Cayuga St. and N. Main St., built c.1830, which was numbered 1 North Main Street at date of NRHP listing, and then to run north along the west (odd-numbered) side of N. Main St. to the house which was numbered 37 N. Main St. (and which is now numbered 203 N. Main St.). On the west, even-numbered side of the street, it included houses running from number 10 (per map included in NRHP document) to number 36 (now 202 N. Main St.). And it included three properties at 5, 6, and 8 Keeler St., a cross street. The properties along Main St., like others in Moravia outside the district, have since been renumbered, with, for example, the house at 28 N. Main St. now being 192 Main St. It includes Italianate, Greek Revival, and Queen Anne architecture.
