Most buildings date from the mid-19th century, when the landing was a center of river commerce and rail transport.","why_significant":"The district is a largely intact group of 19th-century buildings tied to the trade and commerce of a small Hudson River landing community. Much of it was designed, built and owned by ferry company owner Henry White Belcher, giving it a distinct identity. Its riverside setting and range of period styles give a picturesque, pre-modern appearance.","narrative":"Garrison Landing is a small riverside hamlet of seventeen structures stretched along a quarter-mile of the Hudson's east bank, directly across from West Point. Most buildings date from the mid-19th century, when the landing served river commerce and the railroad. Henry White Belcher, owner of the Garrison and West Point Ferry Company, built many of the modest frame houses between 1849 and 1859 for his employees, giving the community a unified character. Key landmarks include an 1892 stone railroad station, now a theater, an older frame depot moved nearby, an intact frame store with its original storefront, and the brick Golden Eagle Hotel, still operating. Daily trips to West Point and Highland Falls brought mail, food, baggage and freight to the west shore. The grassy common behind the buildings holds a gazebo built for the 1960s filming of Hello Dolly. The district is valued as an intact, picturesque example of a Hudson River landing community.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Henry White Belcher (ferry company owner who built the tenant houses)","architectural_style":"Mid-19th century vernacular with Italianate, Gothic and bracketed elements (Hudson Valley vocabulary)","criteria":[],"status_note":"The 1892 stone station is out of service and used as a theater; the Golden Eagle Hotel continues as a hotel.
