Silliman Memorial Church, built in 1896 by Horace B. Silliman, in loving memories of his mother and father, Clarissa and Levi, at the cost of $25,000. The church was on the national Register for Historic Places, and graced the corner of Mohawk and Onatrio Streets for nearly one hundred years. The building was demolished in 1997, despite efforts by the historical society and many others to save it. To Replicate this building today in it's exact manor would cost about 20 Million Dollars.
