Peekskill Downtown Historic District, Historical commercial core in Peekskill, New York, United States.

The district covers 40 acres along Main, Division, South, Park, Bank, Brown, First, and Esther streets, containing 150 buildings with diverse architectural styles.

The area developed from a Hudson River settlement into a commercial center after 1830, when wooden structures were replaced with brick buildings for industrial needs.

The district includes multiple 19th-century religious buildings, such as the First Baptist Church from 1847 and St. Peter's Episcopal Church from 1891.

The district maintains its role as Peekskill's primary business area, situated at the intersection of the former Albany Post Road and Danbury Turnpike.

A Moorish Revival tower constructed in the 1880s stands at the intersection of Division and Park streets, serving as a reference point for the district.
