The Little Falls Community Bake Oven is listed on the New York State and National Register of Historic Places.  The Register is the nation's official list of properties worthy of preservation.  Listing on the Register recognizes the importance of these properties to the history of the country and provides them with a measure of protection.  In addition, owners of income property may qualify for federal income tax benefits.  Properties owned by municipalities and not-for-profit organizations are eligible to apply for state historic preservation matching grants.  The Italian Community Bake Oven is located in the woods off Route 167 North.  The oven dates from 1891 when industrialist Alfred Dolge brought the first group of Italian men here to an encampment near the oven and from which they would daily leave to build the Dolgeville to Little Falls railroad.

Our work continues on this project.

In addition to working on landscaping design for this project...we are currently working with the City of Little Falls on the second historic district which would well encompass over 250 properties...and give property owners access to grants they would not otherwise be able to obtain individually without being involved in the district.  Tax credits, too.  There are absolutely no restrictions to being in a district, just advantages!
