The town center grew on Langley's land over the following years, based on his layout. There are 27 historically significant properties in the district, most of which were built before 1850, and are residential. Notable among these is the 1805 Levi Browne House, which was the birthplace of humorist Charles Farrar Browne (1834-67), who wrote under the pen name Artemus Ward. One of the architecturally finer Federal period houses is that of Ambrose Knight, who was a local shop owner. The village's oldest municipal building is the 1843 Greek Revival town house.
