East End Historic District

The East End Historic District is a residential area in Newburgh containing more than 2,200 buildings representing Federal, Greek Revival, and Gothic Revival styles. The structures spread from Robinson Avenue to Water Street and Bay View Terrace, with many properties offering Hudson River views.

The neighborhood developed from the mid-1700s through the mid-1900s, with most buildings rising during the industrial boom of the 1800s. The district earned National Register of Historic Places status in 1985, formally recognizing its historical importance.

The neighborhood displays its industrial roots through rows of red brick townhouses and Victorian homes built for working families in the 1800s. These buildings remain the visual heart of the area and reflect how ordinary people lived and worked here.

The district is easy to explore on foot thanks to well-organized streets and signage providing historical information throughout. Several parks and open spaces offer rest areas during your walk.

The Hasbrouck House, a stone building from 1750, served as General George Washington's headquarters and became the first state-recognized historic site in the United States. This building stands as a witness to the nation's founding period in this location.
