Ironville Historic District
Ironville Historic District, Historic district in Crown Point Town, Essex County, United States.
The Ironville Historic District encompasses 73 acres with 12 buildings, including wooden houses, a church, and a grange hall near Penfield Pond.
The district developed around iron works in the 1820s, leading to the construction of the Penfield Homestead in 1828 and boarding houses for workers.
