It is the only one of three surviving three-story brick multi-use downtown buildings of the period to retain integrity. It is distinguished by its large bracketed cornice, two-story Queen Anne bay window and cast-iron columned storefront.","narrative":"Gilligan and Stevens Block is a three-story commercial building on Montcalm Street in the heart of Ticonderoga's downtown. It was built in two stages: the five eastern bays in 1882 in the Italianate style, and the more ornate Queen Anne western section in 1884 after the owners bought the adjoining lot. Local merchants D.J. Gilligan and Charles Stevens originally ran a grocery, offices and a shop on the ground floor, with their residences above. The brick-veneered frame structure has a large wood bracketed cornice, cast-iron columns at the east storefront, and a two-story bay window with Queen Anne sash on the west side. Storefronts have been altered, but the upper floors keep remarkable exterior integrity, and the original spatial layout and interior woodwork survive. It was one of three three-story brick commercial buildings from the period downtown and is the only one that retained its integrity, making it the sole surviving commercial block of its type in Ticonderoga. Shops and apartments still occupy it.","period_of_significance":"1882-1884","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate and Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used for commercial and residential purposes; second-floor east side offices are used as apartments, the third floor is vacant, and the building is in fair condition.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:44.68343-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/88002193.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002193/c5050e166f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002193/c5050e166f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.0","author":"Doug Kerr from Albany, NY, United States","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gilligan_and_Stevens_Block_Dec_11.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Doug Kerr from Albany, NY, United States</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:Gilligan_and_Stevens_Block_Dec_11.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312848","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilligan_and_Stevens_Block","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5562347"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/essex-county/gilligan-and-stevens-block-88002193/"}
