Stone Street Historic District

The Stone Street Historic District extends across eight blocks covering 42 acres, featuring Federal and Late Victorian residential architecture from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Initially developed in 1767 from a winding footpath into a formal road, Stone Street evolved into a residential area connecting the community to the Hudson River.

The district reflects the settlement patterns of German, Irish, Polish, and Italian immigrants, with African-American residents joining the neighborhood in the mid-20th century.

The district boundaries stretch from Division Street to Bridge Street, making it accessible for visitors to explore the preserved 19th-century residential structures.

Houses in the district maintain narrow lots with minimal side yards and large rear spaces, creating a dense residential pattern characteristic of 19th-century urban planning.
