Re: the new Croquet Court at the Library —
I asked Jeff Reynolds what the dimensions are of this beautiful new lawn: "The sodded area will accommodate a full-size regulation 35x28 yd. court, but can be split into two half-regulation, fully-playable courts, (each approximately the size of a tennis court).
A bocce court is 95 ft, so we can do that here, too, x 4 or 5."

About the architectural style of these buildings on East Main Street —
Because each of these buildings was constructed with commercial enterprise in mind and all are decorated with ornamental brackets, typical of the Italianate Style, they would be classified as "Commercial Italianate."
Many residential buildings in the Village have the same detailing and are referred to as, simply, "Italianate."
