 Most of the industrial facilities of the village have been lost, leaving a combination of worker housing and higher-quality homes of business managers and owners.The historic district is bounded on the north and east by the West Branch Farmington River, and on the southwest by a rising ridge that roughly parallels Main Street, with a former railroad right-of-way just above its base.Because the village was at its height in the mid-19th century, most of the distinguished architecture in the village is either Greek Revival or Italianate.
