It served as a saloon with boarding-house rooms above.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is a distinctive example of mid-19th century commercial architecture in Peekskill under Criterion C. It shows typical Italianate features such as a square form, round-arched corbelled brick window lintels, a bracketed cornice, a hip roof and a cupola. It is also one of only two hotels of its period still standing in the city and is tied to the Lower Dock waterfront district.","narrative":"Standing at the foot of Hudson Avenue in Peekskill, this three-story painted brick building dates to about 1855 and reflects the Italianate style. It measures four bays wide by three deep and is topped by a shallow pyramidal roof, a square cupola and a bracketed wooden cornice with dentils. Windows have round brick hood moulds with keystones. Built for commercial use with living quarters above, it housed a saloon on the ground floor and boarding-house rooms on the upper floors, which still keep their layouts, staircases and some woodwork and plaster. The site sits at the old entrance to Lower Dock, once a hub of shipping, stove manufacturing and rail traffic along the Hudson River. The building is recognized as a distinctive example of mid-19th century commercial architecture in the city and as one of only two hotels of its era still standing in Peekskill. It is currently vacant, and the first floor has been mostly gutted.","period_of_significance":"c. 1855","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed as vacant.
