The
Village is the home to Alfred State College, Alfred University, and The New York
State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Because of the existence of
these schools there are more buildings of larger stature than might normally be
found in a small rural village. Downtown Alfred is quite historic with many
fine examples of architecture. One of the traits of many houses is the terra
cotta tile roofs made using local clays.
Alfred's climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature
differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes
severely cold) winters.
