It lies between Catskill Creek and the river and includes about five hundred commercial, residential, governmental and religious buildings. Main Street runs parallel to the creek and holds stores, apartments, banks, churches, firehouses and the county government complex. Residential streets climb the hillside, and larger homes built by merchants, bankers and lawyers sit on the level hilltop. Along Water Street stand brick warehouses, former mills and old frame buildings once used by a night-boat line. Brick is the main commercial material, wood frame predominates in housing, and local limestone often forms foundations. Because few modern buildings intrude, the nineteenth-century character remains strong. The northern end includes the Thomas Cole House, a National Historic Landmark. A later documentation update lists 530 contributing buildings and 48 noncontributing buildings, and sets the period of significance at c1797 to c1930.","period_of_significance":"c1797-c1930","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Varied nineteenth-century types, including Colonial Revival houses on upper Spring Street","criteria":[],"status_note":"Integrity of design and materials is described as generally very good. Some storefronts have been modernized, some siding has been added, and parking lots mark a few former building sites. Several restoration projects are noted.
