Rich Historical Significance: Main Mall Row
Main Mall Row comprises a deeply historic, architecturally significant group of nine commercial buildings flanking the northeast corner of the Main and Garden Street intersection. Chiefly constructed following a historic fire in 1870, these assets were designed in the striking Renaissance Revival style. The buildings are celebrated for their ornamental flourishes, including bracketed cornices, paneled friezes, arcaded facades, and molded lintels.
Reflecting its cultural importance and timeless value to the landscape of upstate New York, this commercial row was proudly added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Today, it remains one of the most vibrant, architecturally distinct shopping and living corridors in the Hudson Valley.
