Knox Street Historic District
Knox Street Historic District, Historic district in Park South, Albany, New York, United States
Knox Street Historic District contains 24 brick buildings, primarily rowhouses situated along one block between Dana Avenue and Morris Street.
The area first appeared on Albany maps in 1813, though development did not begin until the 1870s when the rowhouses were constructed.
The architectural elements of the buildings combine Italianate and Queen Anne styles, displaying features such as corbelled brickwork and ornate wooden cornices.
The district underwent substantial renovation in the early 21st century, with 18 houses receiving comprehensive restoration to maintain their historical characteristics.
Scottish nurseryman James Wilson operated a nursery on this land, developing the Wilson strawberry, the first successful American cultivar of this fruit.
