List of entries on the National Register of Historic Places in Orleans County, New York

Location of Orleans County in New York

This list of entries on the National Register of Historic Places in Orleans County includes all properties and districts that are on the National Register of Historic Places in New York's Orleans County. One of the entries, the Cobblestone Historic District , is also a National Historic Landmark .

There are currently 26 entries in the county, which is the fourth lowest number of all New York counties after Schuyler County (18), Hamilton County (19) and Wyoming County (25). Five of the entries are historic districts , including Mount Albion Cemetery ( Millville Cemetery is classified as a site). The remaining 16 entries are individual buildings.

overview

Of these 26 buildings, at least ten were used for residential purposes at some point in their history. Two of them were originally inns that were converted into residential buildings. The Tousley-Church House was later converted into the local office of the Daughters of the American Revolution . The four historic districts also include residential buildings as contributing properties .

Three other buildings - the post offices in Albion and Medina and the Medina Armory - are government buildings. The armory now serves as the local YMCA . The registered properties do not include any commercially used buildings, and church buildings are not individually included in the register; however, seven churches are contributing to the Orleans County Courthouse Historic District . Likewise, no school buildings are registered independently, although a single-class school is contributing to the Cobblestone Historic District .

The five historic districts include a total of 135 contributing properties on an area of ​​42 hectares, the majority of which is accounted for by the Mt. Albion Cemetery, the largest entry in the county with 28 hectares. With 3,000 square feet of space and three buildings on two unrelated lots, the Cobblestone Historic District is not only the smallest historic district in the county, but also the smallest National Historic Landmark in the state.

The other three districts are within Medina and Albion, the county's largest settlements. The two districts in Albion collide, the more southern of the two being characterized by public buildings, churches and residential buildings around the County Courthouse , while the more northern is mainly used commercially. Medina's Main Street Historic District consists almost entirely of commercial properties.

Within the historic districts, all but three buildings and one additional structure are contributing properties, and none of the contributing properties is independently included in the register. The Albion Post Office, which is independently registered, is within the boundaries of a historic district, but is not considered to be contributing to it because it was built two decades after the district's historically significant period.
