Western New York Architecture Deep Cuts
Market Street Historic District, Corning, New York, February 2022
As seen at sunset on a February 2022 evening, Market Street is not only the main commercial thoroughfare of downtown Corning, New York, but it and its environs are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Market Street Historic District. The four-block stretch between Chestnut and Wall Streets (the view here is looking westward from between Cedar and Pine Streets, right at the center of the district) is particularly notable for the integrity of the historic streetscape, which mostly consists of two- and three-story brick commercial buildings from the late 19th century, many of which were designed by the region's premier architects, such as Andrew Jackson Warner of Rochester as well as Corning's own Henry G. Tuthill.
