Spring Valley Historic District

This district includes thirty-two contributing buildings, one contributing site, and two contributing structures that are located in the crossroads village of Spring Valley. They include a variety of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, some of which are representative of the vernacular Georgian and Federal styles.

The residential buildings are predominantly two-and-one-half-story, stuccoed stone structures, some of which date to the mid-eighteenth century. Notable buildings include the Upper Mill or Spring Valley Mill (c. 1740), the Lower Mill (c. 1820), a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, a cooperage, a store, and two inns—the "Neff's Tavern" and Temperance Inn (c. 1838). The contributing structures are the Spring Valley Mill Dam and a stone arch bridge.^[2]
