Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo recently announced that the New York State Board for Historic Preservation has recommended adding 18 properties to the State and National Registers of Historic Places, including four in Central New York.

The CNY properties are the following:

• Amboy District No. 2 Schoolhouse, East Amboy, Oswego County — This one-room schoolhouse was built in 1895 and served this region until declining attendance forced its closure in 1952. The school was moved to its present location in the 1970s as part of a road project. 

• Foster-Hubbard House, Syracuse, Onondaga County — Constructed in 1872, this Italianate–style house was designed and built by prominent local architect, builder, and industrialist Simon DeGraff. 

• West Broadway Commercial Historic District, Fulton, Oswego County — This area contains eight brick commercial buildings that are the only remaining area of the city’s late-19th century and early 20th century commercial architecture. 

• Oneida Community Limited Administration Building, Oneida, Madison County — Originally constructed in 1926, this Collegiate Gothic-style commercial building was expanded in 1948 and 1965. An internationally known manufacturer of silverware, cutlery, and tableware, the company was an outgrowth of the Oneida Community, a utopian religious communal society established in Oneida in 1848. The religious community dissolved in 1880, and became the silverware company Oneida Limited, which remains in business, although manufacturing is now done overseas. Administrative and corporate functions remain in Oneida.

A listing on the State and National Registers of Historic Places can assist owners in revitalizing properties, making them eligible for various public-preservation programs and services, such as matching state grants and state and federal historic-rehabilitation tax credits, the state says.
