Stone Street Historic District

Stone Street Historic District is a residential area with eight blocks full of buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, displaying Federal and Victorian architectural styles. The houses stand close together and form a compact residential pattern typical of urban settlements from that era.

The street began in 1767 as a simple footpath and was later expanded into a formal road connecting the town with the Hudson River. Over time it developed into an important residential street for various population groups.

The street shows traces of different communities that have lived here over generations. Visitors can still see today how these various population groups shaped the neighborhood and continue to do so.

The district extends from Division Street to Bridge Street and can be easily explored on foot. The paved streets and flat terrain make walking there pleasant and straightforward.

Houses in the district have characteristic narrow lots with small side yards but large backyards. This layout shows how land was efficiently used in the 19th century to create more living space in a smaller area.
