What makes this property stand out?
The building sits in the historic core of a canal village that has been a commercial center for about two centuries. Pittsford was incorporated as a village on July 4, 1827, after the Erie Canal opened through it in 1822, and the village notes that older business buildings still survive along South Main Street.
A few verified facts about the setting:
- The Phoenix Building at the corner of S Main and State Streets, a Federal-style inn from the canal and turnpike era, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and restored in 1967.
- The Pittsford Village Historic District was listed on the National Register in 1984 and expanded in 2016 to cover most of the village.
- The Village of Pittsford has revised its zoning to require retail or restaurant use of first-floor storefronts in the Main Street business district, which keeps street-level space oriented to shops and dining. Confirm permitted uses for any specific suite with the village before signing a lease.
