The nominated 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, located in the southern portion of the district, 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 “cure” 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. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description The Helen Hill Historic District is located in the southeastern section of the Village of Saranac Lake, a municipality situated in the rugged north-central portion of the Adirondack Park. The village straddles two counties—a part of it is located within Franklin County, the balance being located in adjacent Essex County—and communicates directly with Lake Flower, into which the Saranac River flows on its north side. The topography of the region that surrounds Saranac Lake is mountainous, while the village by contrast features a mix of both flat and hilly terrain. The neighborhood in which the district is located, immediately southeast of the downtown area, is situated at a higher elevation than downtown, being that it sits atop a hill that crests north of Helen Street, between Franklin and Shepard avenues. The hilly topography of the district required the extensive use of retaining walls for individual properties— typically fashioned from rough cut, random-laid stone but sometimes formed of poured concrete—which often help define bordering property lines. Though the tract was historically used as pasture, most of the lots are now partially wooded. The nominated district encompasses most of Helen Street, from Front Street west to Pine Street; all of Prescott Place; the majority of two cross-streets, those being Shepard Avenue and Franklin Avenue; a portion of Clinton Avenue; and one property each on Front Street and Fawn Street. The district contains 112 contributing buildings and structures, inclusive of ancillary buildings and retaining features, and also includes 6 resources which were previously listed on the NRHP in 1992. There are additionally 31 non- contributing resources, also inclusive of outbuildings and other site features. All of these are privately owned buildings and either single or multi-family residences, with the bulk of the development having occurred between 1896 and 1932. Most are local expressions of the prevailing architectural styles of this period of development, including the Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Craftsman modes. The vast majority are of light wood-frame construction sheathed with wood clapboard, wood shingle, or otherwise later aluminum or vinyl siding. Only one brick building is located within the district; it was built as a hospital facility to accommodate tuberculosis patients. A principal character-defining feature of many of the district’s dwellings are the one or more “cure porches” employed on the exterior, a feature which relates directly to Saranac Lake’s importance as a center of tuberculosis treatment. These were often partially enclosed with vertically sliding windows, but some were open as well, designed to be large enough for patients to sit outside throughout the year and “take the cure,” which meant breathing the clean, crisp mountain air that was believed to improve one’s health as part of a larger cure regimen. Records collected and maintained by Historic Saranac Lake identify many of the houses within the district by a particular “cottage” name; where known, these are cited in the descriptive section. These names were often taken from the owner or proprietor of the particular residence at the time. The physical integrity level of the resources within the nominated district varies, with some houses retaining a majority of their original materials and character-defining exterior elements, while others have been altered with vinyl siding, replacement windows and both minor and major alterations. Additions and the enclosure of porches in some instances occurred early on and is representative of changes that could be deemed significant;

    n1 AdirondackWatershed Institute Stewardship Program Watershed Institute Stewardship Program Summary of Programs and Research 2014 Upper Saranac Lake Adirondack Watershed Institute ADIRONDACK WATERSHED INSTITUTE THE YEAR IN REVIEW 2 STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM The Year in Review Aquatic invasive species (AIS) continue to be a great concern all across the Adirondack region, demanding increasing attention and resources from communities and agencies far and wide. The Adirondack Watershed Institute Stewardship Program (AWISP) is part of coordinated efforts at the local, regional and statewide levels to detect and arrest the spread of AIS. The Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) works year-round with partner organizations, communities and government agencies to understand and manage a range of environmental quality issues through research and education. 2014 marked the fifteenth field season for the AWISP. 2014 highlights: Clean, Drain, Dry! AWISP stewards provided coverage at 31 launches on 26 lakes and ponds this season sharing the message of “Clean, Drain, and Dry!” New Education Program! The AWISP launched an off-site environmental education program called the Water Shield Workshop. The program integrates land-based exercises with on-water activities for participants of all ages. Water Shield Workshops were held at Lake Pleasant, Schroon Lake, and Lower Saranac Lake in 2014. Finding Bythotrephes! Survey efforts by AWISP staff confirmed the presence of spiny waterflea (Bythotrephes longimanus) in Lake Pleasant and Piseco Lake for the first time. See it! Touch it! Learn it! The AWISP purchased an Enviroscape watershed model for education and outreach activities. Round-up of program wide accomplishments, by the numbers: AWISP stewards confirmed and removed 834 AIS from inspected watercraft across the Adirondack region.

Adirondack Research Library Collections: The Adirondack Research Library (ARL) was established in 1979 and is located within the KAC. In 2011, Union College assumed long-term responsibility of the ARL from Protect the Adirondacks!, Inc. In 2013, Union dedicated the Kelly Adirondack Center, an interdisciplinary environmental research center located at the site of conservationist Paul Schaefer’s Niskayuna home. The KAC/ARL are open to the Union community and to the general public. The archival collections span almost a century and document the turbulent terrain conservationists navigated to establish and protect the Adirondack Park. The materials highlight different approaches that influenced U.S. policies and attitudes toward protecting the environment. The ARL collections reveal a century of debate among citizen activists and lawmakers who helped preserve the Park as a ‘mixed use’ public space that incorporates private property within its boundary. 1 Hours and contact information: The Adirondack Research Library (ARL) at the KAC is open to the public M-F, 10-4pm and by appointment. The ARL is located in a residential area at 897 St. David’s Lane, Niskayuna, NY 12309.
