Holland Land Office at 131 W. Main St., Batavia, New York, in Genesee County, was the office of the Holland Land Company, which came into ownership of all of western New York. Five companies of the country of Holland owned the firm, which purchased the tract from Robert Morris and further secured Seneca Indian rights to the land.
The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960.[1][3]
