Harrington Hotel (Hodskin House) - Built in 1864, the red brick Hodskin House was located on Main Street in Canton on the banks of the Grasse River. It became the Hotel Harrington in 1919, when it was sold to Michael Harrington, father of Patricia Harrington Carson, a Canton resident and longtime supporter of the Historical Association. The hotel was demolished in 1958.
The Island House - The Island House in Waddington was completed in 1816. Made of native stone, it was the home of David Ogden and his large family. Sometime after 1880, the house was purchased by Ebenezer S. Crapser. The house was demolished in the late 1950s during construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Gardner Cox House - A longtime landmark on Route 56 in Hannawa Falls, the Gardner Cox House was built in 1838 by Gardner Cox, one of the early settlers of Pierrepont. The house is built of Potsdam sandstone.
