HOUSE ON SOUTH MAIN STREET, GENEVA, NEW YORK. Built in 1820 by Charles A. Williamson. 12 THE WHITE PINE MONOGRAPH SERIES The oldest houses are to be found mostly on or near the original turnpike. Colonel William- son (whose house at Geneva is illustrated herein) is authority for the following in reference to the road from Utica, via Cayuga ferry and Canan- daigua, to the Genesee River at Avon: "This line of road having been established by law, not less than fifty families settled upon it in the... space of four months after it was opened. " Though the road was probably laid out in 1794, it seems not to have been constructed for some time, for in June, 1797, Col. Williamson repre- sents the road from Fort Schuyler to the Genesee as little better than an Indian trail. It was, main road east and west follows the old turn- pike the greater part of the distance, but from Chittenango to Auburn the present state road lies to the north of the old route, passing through Syracuse, which in the days before the Erie Canal was but a small hamlet reached by a spur of the old road from Onondaga.
