It has fifty-four structures, mostly built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.","why_significant":"The district is described as a homogeneous group of substantial residences reflecting the taste and prosperity of late nineteenth century Plattsburgh. It is called the best preserved concentration of structures from that period in the city. Merchants, bankers and professionals built large, stylish homes along Court Street from 1850 into the early twentieth century, showing the progression of upper middle class housing.","narrative":"Court Street in Plattsburgh, New York, is lined by a four-block residential district of fifty-four buildings, stretching from Oak Street on the east to Beekman Street on the west. Most are large frame houses from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with Queen Anne and Colonial Revival details and a shared scale, massing and setback. A number of earlier houses show Greek Revival, Italianate and Eclectic influences, including a stone Greek Revival house at 70 Court Street and a richly decorated Eclectic residence at 15 Pleasant Street. The district was listed because it records the prosperity of Plattsburgh, which grew as the commercial and legal center of northern New York and the Champlain Valley after the War of 1812. Merchants, bankers and professional men built stylish homes here from 1850 into the early twentieth century. Bracketed cornices, porte-cochères, towers and classical porticos give variety to the street, and the district is described as the city's best preserved concentration of buildings from this era.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne and Colonial Revival, with Greek Revival, Italianate and Eclectic examples","criteria":[],"status_note":"Most buildings are large frame residences; some are altered, and a few, including a funeral home-commercial building and a 1965 apartment building, are listed as non-contributing.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:43.503203-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/83001664.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001664/c03f248ab3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001664/c03f248ab3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Mwanner","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:125_Court_Street,_Plattsburgh,_New_York.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Mwanner</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:125_Court_Street,_Plattsburgh,_New_York.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312327","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_Street_Historic_District_(Plattsburgh,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5178280"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/clinton-county/court-street-historic-district-83001664/"}
