SYRACUSE

Thorough mapping of the use of racial covenants in and around Syracuse can be found at CNY Fair Housing's RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS IN ONONDAGA COUNTY. The website provides plat maps and examples of racial covenants in twenty-nine developments.

Additional information and analysis regarding racial covenants in Syracuse and adjacent communities by Michael T. Kelly can be found at SYRACUSE COVENANTS. Kelly documents the historical use of racial covenants by J.W. Clark Real Estate Co. in the Dewittshire, Lynacres, and Wellington Hills subdivisions (Town of Dewitt), Grafton Johnson (via his agent C.N. Lodge) in the Edgewood Gardens, Garden Terrace, and James Street Terrace subdivisions, as well as by others in Camillus and South Salina.
