Sedgwick & The North Side
Sedgwick was Syracuse's first residential historic district.
Rooted in architectural design history, visitors and locals can enjoy the city's most remarkable 20th century Italianate, Tudor and Colonial Revival homes designed by the esteemed Ward Wellington Ward, Dwight James Baum, Paul Hueber, Harry King, Bonta and Taylor and Archimedes Russell.
Neighborhood Vibes
Among the structural distinction and lush landscaping are exceptional city parks and top-rated restaurants and bars on the outskirts of Sedgwick and the bordering North Side, a district with rich German-American roots which now supports a large immigrant population and multinational culinary and retail fusions for all to enjoy.
