Village of Jordan, NY Website
Jordan Village is a distinctive concentration of nineteenth and early twentieth century architecture. The historically and architecturally significant residential, commercial and ecclesiastical structures illustrate the Village's nineteenth century growth and prosperity, particularly during the 1830-40's and 1870-85's when the Erie Canal made Jordan a principal commercial, industrial and transportation center of western Onondaga County. There are also many structures, which represent the Village's growth in the early twentieth century, when Jordan enjoyed railroad and trolley service. By 1930, the Erie Canal took on new significance by being converted to a landscaped park as a W.P.A. Project and remains a visual tool for understanding the canal and aqueduct construction. A variety of architectural styles, detailing and methods of construction are represented in the cohesive district. The historic character of the Village, relatively undisturbed by the affects of post 1930 modernization, remains an important example of a nineteenth and early twentieth century village in Central New York.
