Sceneca Falls - The Partridge Building

            A closer look at the mostly commercial (there are two apts on the second floor) brick Partridge Building. Notice the decorative roofline.  Now a little bit of  history:  The earliest maps of Seneca Falls show a sawmill on this site.  A later  1836 map of  the area displays the old Arnett Mill, a flour mill,  at this location.  Research shows that portions of the mill's  bearing walls were retained and incorporated into the present building.  After the "great fire " of 1890 destroyed the original structure on this site, a new building was constructed in 1891.  The new  building had a mansard roof and a landmark central clock tower which adorned the roofline and lit a large portion of the village.  In March of 1988 a fire   once again gutted the Partridge Building.  The fire destroyed the roof and damaged much of the top floor and south wall of the  Partridge Block.  The remaining portion of  the building suffered water damage from the fire.  Portico Properties purchased the property in 1988 and undertook a complete restoration of the building.  The building now has a more restrained appearance.  It is located on the Partridge Block at 115 Fall Street in Seneca Falls, NY.  (174)
