Eastman's scheme to transform 27 acres of swamp into a park with surrounding development. It is described as the earliest rowhouses in Poughkeepsie and remains unique for its sophistication and detailed elaboration. Only ten of the 23 planned houses were built after the real estate market collapsed.","narrative":"Eastman Terrace is a row of ten attached townhouses at 1-10 Eastman Terrace in Poughkeepsie, built in 1872 facing Eastman Park. Architect A.G. Thompson of New York City designed the row for Mayor Harvey G. Eastman, who had bought 27 acres of swamp in 1865 and turned them into a landscaped park. The three-story brick houses stand on raised stone basements under mansard roofs with polychrome slate, decorative stone parapets and iron cresting. The facade alternates projecting and recessed sections, with ornate dormers, brackets and keystoned lintels. Eastman planned 23 houses, promoting features such as billiard rooms, wine rooms and dumb waiters, but a weak real estate market left only ten built, and an auction in 1873 failed. Early owners included an engraver, a lawyer and local business figures. The row is regarded as the earliest group of rowhouses in Poughkeepsie and remains notable for its detailed elaboration. Period mantels, woodwork, tilework and plaster ornament survive inside, and the buildings are still residences.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"A.G.
