"The focal point of the village and the core of the Bainbridge Historic District is the village green, a landscaped park ornamented with a Victorian bandstand, carved stone memorials, and a cast-iron fountain. Two historic churches face the green: to the southeast is the Federal style Presbyterian Church with a two-stage octagonal belfry; southwest of the park is St. Peter's Episcopal Church which retains its Gothic windows despite unsympathetic alterations to the facade and belfry. The cemetery, set off by an iron fence and a lich gate, faces the southern corner of the green...St. Peter's rectory, a steep-gabled Carpenter Gothic style cottage at the corner of Park Place and South Main Street...Most of the buildings in the commercial district are attached brick blocks, two or three stories high with large expanses of plate glass in the first-story shop fronts. They display a variety of cornice detail including wood and iron brackets and brick corbelling. Although many storefronts have been altered over the years, a number do remain intact: the tiny facade at 15 West Main Street is an excellent example...Another notable building is the neoclassical Bainbridge Town Hall (15 North Main Street), which houses the village library, government offices, and an upstairs theater"
