Its buildings document Napanoch's growth from agricultural crossroads to canal-era commercial hamlet. It evolved through several owners between 1810 and 1841.","narrative":"Main Street in Napanoch, Ulster County, holds a cluster of early nineteenth-century buildings that record the hamlet's change from a farming crossroads to a canal-era commercial center. The oldest is the c.1810 Federal-style house built for Dr. William H. Doll, a two-story clapboard structure with a symmetrical five-bay facade and an unusual eight-panel door with sidelights and arched transom. Beside it stands the c.1833 Greek Revival store, built by the Southwick brothers during the Delaware and Hudson Canal boom, with a massive cornice, pillared porch and original shuttered storefront. The Napanoch Female Seminary, from about 1841, combined a schoolmaster's apartment with a separate dormitory. Surviving outbuildings include an ice house, stable and wagon shed, corn crib and garage. The Hoornbeek family owned the store and house from 1867 to 1975, and the property has been vacant since then. The group is valued for its intact buildings and what they show about local commerce and education.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"William H.
