On The Waterfront - Waddington, New York - Part 3

I was touring Waddington, New York on St. Lawrence Ave, which paralleled the St. Lawrence River (see also Part 2, posted yesterday). The homes were spectacular:

And there were spaces without homes, like this one. I saw a sign which said this was Island View Park, explaining why the river looked more narrow here. The other shore was an island, not the Canada mainland:

This home reminded me of Cape Cod:

A children's play house, slide and swings on the riverbank. I was beginning to think that Waddington must be an expensive place to live, so I checked real estate listings when I got home. I saw a nice home on St. Lawrence Ave. which sold in 2017 for $135,000. I think most people in this country would consider that a bargain price, all things considered.

A modern home, also on the river's edge:

A large and impressive home, right on the water. I saw no boats, but I did see lots of floating docks, pulled up onto the shore for the winter. I'm guessing that someone has a good business, storing people's boats in a large barn each winter:

I returned to the big picnic pavilion:

And turned again up Main Street. The Community Bank was on the corner, and people were coming and going:

There were more commercial buildings, well kept but appearing empty. Notice that top row of unusual windows:

And this impressive stone house:

The  U.S. Post Office, perhaps with apartments upstairs:

 I was on my way out of Waddington when I again passed the Tourist Information and Town Museum building, this time getting a side view. I noticed that it had four tiny church models, illustrating the four church buildings in town. I don't know if they were big enough for kids to play in or not, but they were cute:

It was time to return home, so I turned back onto the county road at the Kunoco gas station and convenience store, stopping first to fill my gas tank:
