The original shop dates to 1858, with additions made later, including one around 1880.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building remains intact and keeps its simple, utilitarian detailing. It is described as a distinctive example of its type and period of construction. It is also tied to a historical occupation that made a significant contribution to local life.","narrative":"This commercial building at 286 Main Street in Nelsonville, New York, began as a horseshoeing and wagonmaking shop established by H. D. Champlin in 1858. The earliest section was a story-and-a-half structure fronting Spring Street, with a loft door and a hoist at the gable peak. A one-story wing was added to the south, and another addition followed around 1880, which shifted the building's orientation toward Main Street. Historic maps from 1860-65, 1876 and 1912 help trace its growth, with Champlin's name appearing at the site by 1876 and the building reaching Main Street by 1912. The south facade has a central wagon door flanked by six-over-six windows, and a false front with a dentillated brick cornice and painted sign. The building remains largely intact and keeps its plain, practical detailing. It was recognized as a distinctive example of its type and as a reminder of a trade that shaped local life. The form lists its condition as fair and its use as unchanged.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"19th century commercial architecture","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in fair condition on its original site; the present use is the same as the original commercial use.
