History of a Nineteenth Century Urban Complex on the Site of Fort Stanwix
Waite DS. 1972. History of a Nineteenth Century Urban Complex on the Site of Fort Stanwix. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
At the request of the Rome Urban Renewal Agency, the Historic American Buildings Survey of the National Park Service arranged in the spring of 1970 to record five buildings situated on the site of Fort Stanwix which were widely recognized for their architectural and historic importance. Located in the heart of Rome's business center, the structures formed a unique historic district that was significant as a microcosm of the history of Rome through its associations with the city's nineteenth century commercial, industrial, political and social development. Because of these outstanding qualities, the New York State Historic Trust nominated two of the buildings, the Barnes-Mudge House and "Liberty Hall," to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1971 all buildings on the site were demolished preparatory to archeological investigation and reconstruction of Fort Stanwix by the National Park Service. This report gives descriptions and historical accounts of five historic buildings.
