It contains work by at least 42 structures' worth of locally, regionally and nationally recognized architects, notably R. Newton Brezee. It also includes the original campus buildings of Skidmore College.","narrative":"East of Broadway in Saratoga Springs lies a residential neighborhood of about 400 buildings on tree-lined streets laid out in a grid. Most date from the 1830s to the early twentieth century and show a wide run of styles, from Federal and Greek Revival through Italianate, Second Empire and Queen Anne to Colonial Revival, Tudor and Bungalow. Clapboard and brick are the main materials, and only fifteen buildings do not contribute to the district's character. The area was developed by merchant families who prospered as the city grew into a nationally known health spa and seasonal resort. Hotel and spa owners, retailers, mill owners and builders lived here in year-round homes somewhat more modest than those on Union Avenue and North Broadway. Architects including R. Newton Brezee, who designed 24 houses here, and Isaac Perry, who designed the State Armory, worked in the district. The original Skidmore College campus buildings near Union, Regent, Spring and Circular Streets are also included.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"R.
