This is intended to be a complete list of properties and districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Orleans County, New York. The locations of National Register properties and districts (at least for all showing latitude and longitude coordinates below) may be seen in a Google map by clicking on "Map of all coordinates". One listing, the Cobblestone Historic District, is further designated a National Historic Landmark. There are currently 22 listings in the county, the third fewest in the state after Schuyler County (14) and Hamilton County (18). Five of the listings are historic districts, including Mount Albion Cemetery (Millville Cemetery is classified as a site). The remaining 16 are individual buildings. No structures in the county are yet listed on the National Register. ==Overview== Of the 16 buildings, at least 10 have been used as dwellings at some point in their history. Two〔Skinner-Tinkham House and Cobblestone Inn〕 of those were originally inns that have since become residences. The Tousley-Church House was later converted into the local Daughters of the American Revolution chapter offices.〔''See also:'' 〕 The four conventional historic districts〔Excluding Mt. Albion Cemetery.〕 all include some residential properties as well among their contributing properties. Three other buildings—the Albion and Medina post offices and the Medina Armory—are government buildings. The armory is now used by the local YMCA. No commercial buildings in Orleans County are individually listed on the Register. Nor are any religious buildings, although seven churches contribute to the Orleans County Courthouse Historic District.〔 ''See also:'' 〕 Similarly, no educational buildings have been listed on their own; the Cobblestone Historic District includes an old one-room schoolhouse among its contributing properties. In the five districts, there are 135 buildings on . Most of that acreage is accounted for by Mt. Albion Cemetery, the largest listing in the county at . The Cobblestone Historic District, with three buildings on two discontiguous plots totaling three-quarters of an acre (3,000 m²), is the smallest district and the smallest National Historic Landmark District in New York. The other three districts are in the downtowns of Medina and Albion, the largest settlements in the county. The two Albion districts abut each other, with the southerly being characterized by the public buildings, whurches and residences around the county courthouse while the northerly is primarily commercial. Medina's Main Street Historic District is almost all commercial property. All but three of the buildings (and one structure〔A small park within the North Main-Bank Streets Historic District in Albion, built on the site of a building that burned.〕) within the historic districts are considered contributing properties. None of the contributing properties are themselves listed individually on the Register. However, the Albion post office, within the bounds of the county courthouse historic district, is not considered a contributing property to it despite later being listed on the Register, since it was built two decades after the district's period of significance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Register of Historic Places listings in Orleans County, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
