Broadway Historic District (Boundary Increase II)

This boundary increase extends Saratoga Springs' Broadway Historic District into the northwest, where wealthy visitors and residents built summer houses at the turn of the century. Much of the added land was once "Woodlawn," a large country seat established by Henry Walton and later enlarged by Judge Henry Hilton, owner of the United States Hotel. Houses were built around its entrances and southern edge so owners could look over its parkland. Three groups of houses appeared along Clement Avenue, Clinton Street and State Street, including Shingle Style mansions and the Queen Anne house "Annandale," many with carriage houses. The estate was cleared in the 1970s and is now Skidmore College's campus, but the houses and lots remain largely intact. The increase also adds smaller summer houses on Woodlawn and Greenfield Avenues and four nineteenth-century stables and liveries on Long Alley that served Broadway businesses. It adds 34 contributing and 7 noncontributing properties.
