It reflects the prosperity of Schuylerville as a late nineteenth-century Champlain Canal port. Its varied brick corbelling, terra cotta panels, and cast-iron storefronts show the ornate taste of the period.","narrative":"Built in 1881 at 90-98 Broad Street in Schuylerville, the Bullard Block is a two-story brick commercial building divided into five connected storefronts. It was constructed as the home of the National Bank of Schuylerville, in the northernmost bay, and takes its name from local businessman Daniel A. Bullard. The west façade combines cast-iron storefronts stamped by James McKinney of Albany, brick pilasters topped with pediments or spires, terra cotta panels, and round-arched windows with varied keystones. A central tower marks the second-floor stairwell entrance. Inside, the bays keep pressed tin, wainscoting, original floorboards, and two bank vaults. The architect is unknown. The building is valued as a well-preserved example of High Victorian commercial design and as a reminder of the prosperity Schuylerville enjoyed as a Champlain Canal port. A concrete block addition from the twentieth century is the main significant alteration.","period_of_significance":"1881","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Romanesque (described in the text as High Victorian commercial architecture)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Retains a high level of integrity; a mid-twentieth-century concrete block addition was made to the northernmost bay, which still houses a bank use.
