Broadway Historic District (Boundary Increase)

This amendment enlarges the Broadway Historic District in Saratoga Springs by 35 properties. Some are outbuildings tied to the grand summer cottages of North Broadway: carriage barns, a stable with a conical tower, a Tudor Revival superintendent's cottage, a Queen Anne guest house and an Italianate residence that once served a demolished mansion. The larger group is a set of brick and frame commercial buildings east of Broadway, along Lake Avenue and Caroline, Phila, Henry and Maple streets. Built mostly between 1865 and 1920, these two- to four-story buildings housed businesses that supported the hotel and resort trade during the city's years as the Queen of Spas. They are generally smaller and plainer than the Broadway storefronts, yet many keep original storefronts and details such as corbels and window moldings. Two modern one-story buildings are counted as non-contributing. The additions also correct earlier mapping errors that had separated main buildings from their dependencies.
