Broadway Historic District

Broadway Historic District follows the main street of Saratoga Springs for about a mile, from the old business district north into the Town of Greenfield. Roughly 116 buildings are included along Broadway, Washington Street and Rock Street. The first four blocks hold two- and three-story brick commercial blocks, public buildings, hotels, apartment buildings and boarding houses, mostly from the late nineteenth-century heyday of the resort. Near the center, the street becomes a residential boulevard of large Italianate, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival houses on landscaped grounds, with carriage houses on side avenues. Notable buildings include the Adelphi Hotel, the Algonquin apartment building, City Hall of 1871, the 1910 Post Office and the Beaux Arts Adirondack Trust bank. A block of Washington Street adds three churches, and High Rock Spring and the Bryan House mark the earliest chapter of the town's history as a mineral-spring health spa. Modern buildings built after 1950s and 1960s fires intrude in places.
