Point Chautauqua Historic District
Point Chautauqua Historic District is a national historic district located on Point Chautauqua, three miles from Mayville in Chautauqua County, New York. It is located directly across Chautauqua Lake from the Chautauqua Institution. The district is a planned resort community laid out in 1875 by Frederick Law Olmsted as a Baptist camp meeting. Within a generation, it had become a resort community. The district includes the serpentine street system, which ascends the steeply wooded slopes of the site, and its collection of single family residences developed in the late 19th and early 20th century. Among the architectural styles represented are American Craftsman, Queen Anne, and Carpenter Gothic.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
