Main Street Historic District - Afton, NY - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Main Street Historic District, comprising that part of the Afton Village core which has retained integrity of design materials and workmanship, is both architecturally and historically significant. The eleven buildings, mainly connected brick blocks with massive corbelled, Romanesque style cornices, exhibit the characteristic features of late nineteenth century, small-scale commercial architecture. The Main Street Historic District's distinctive and cohesive character is produced by similarities in scale, setting and materials and repetition of design motifs among the buildings. Historically, the Main Street Historic District reflects the commercial boom resulting from Afton's development as a regional transportation center in the 1870's and '80s."
