Joubert and White's patented buckboard was sold to wealthy Adirondack camp owners and exported abroad. After 1911 the building served as an automobile garage and showroom linked to early auto touring in the Adirondacks.","narrative":"Built around 1905 at 79 Warren Street in Glens Falls, this three-story, flat-roofed brick building served as a factory and salesroom for Joubert and White, makers of the patented Glens Falls buckboard. The firm, organized in 1864, produced carriages, wagons and buckboards with an improved spring suspension. Its customers included owners of large Adirondack rustic camps, among them J.P. Morgan, William K. Vanderbilt and John Jacob Astor, and its vehicles were also exported to Europe. Manufacturing continued on Warren Street until 1916. The building has a cut limestone foundation, brick pilasters, a corbeled cornice, cast stone window trim and bolted heavy timber framing inside. After 1911 the Empire Auto Company used it for automobile storage, repair and sales, serving travelers bound for the Adirondacks. It remains a well-preserved example of early twentieth-century industrial architecture and reflects the transition from horse-drawn vehicles to automobiles.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Utilitarian early twentieth-century factory with subdued neoclassical details","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a warehouse and storage at the time of the 1981 inventory; the building retains virtually complete integrity of design and materials apart from a minor north parapet alteration.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:42.226142-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/84003360.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003360/4eaeb1fd6e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003360/4eaeb1fd6e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.0","author":"Doug Kerr from Upstate New York","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Joubert_and_White_Building_Aug_09.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Doug Kerr from Upstate New York</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Joubert_and_White_Building_Aug_09.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315399","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joubert_and_White_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6294518"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/warren-county/joubert-and-white-building-84003360/"}
