Show Neo-Classicals and a nice Colonial (Georgian) Revival. There are also 16 English Tudors (8.5%), many of high quality, plus seven World War II cottages (3.7%)--a nomenclature we invented to describe a visually distinctive style of buildings from the 1940s through early 1~50s bridging the border of the historic period. Few of the five Greek Revival buildings are strong examples of that style. Several of the VE/QA and VE buildings are excellent, however. We put relatively few sites in the "Other" category because most of Farmington's buildings had easily identifiable styles of influences. A full breakdown of styles of potentially eligible sites are given below.

In addition, there seem to be several possible approaches to group nominations. In Plat A, for example, 19 of the 26 blocks have more than 50% of the sites in the historic period. In 7 of the 26 blocks, potentially eligible sites account for more than 50% of all buildings, including those out-of-period. Of the 7 blocks, there are three pairs of adjoining blocks, plus one i solated block. Unfortunately, in terms of the continuity needed f or a historic district, the 7 blocks are not concentrated t ogether, but rather are dispersed throughout town. Therefore we do not recommend any historic district based on a grouping of blocks approach. Another approach to creating a historic district would be to c onsider the sites along Main Street and/or the old state highway. For example, the six-block long section of Main Street from 100 South Street to 600 North Street contains 64 sites, a b reakdown of which follows: |
