Helen Hill Historic District

The Helen Hill Historic District straddles the boundary line between  Essex and Franklin counties. The district constitutes a distinctive  residential neighborhood within Saranac Lake and is composed principally of single-family  residences erected in  the later nineteenth and first decades of the twentieth century; some of these dwellings have since been  converted into multi-family housing. The nominated district’s building stock was constructed  in a variety of prevailing national architectural styles , among them the Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Craftsman modes  , with the bulk of the development occurring in the period from  1896 to 1930  . One dwelling, [Shepard Avenue], appears to predate the development of this area and is believed to date to the 1850s  . Otherwise the district’s architecture relates to the development of this area beginning in the later 1890s.  Many of the dwellings within the district retain porches that were used at one time as porches, a surviving legacy of Saranac Lake’s importance  as a center for  the treatment of  tuberculosis. Overall the nominated district retains a strong  sense of cohesion and remains a definable historic entity within the environs of Saranac Lake, with a relatively strong collection of domestic architecture expressive of this area’s period of development from the Late Victorian era to the immediate pre-Second World War period.
