Gansevoort/East Steuben Streets Historic District

Twenty-two houses along Gansevoort and East Steuben Streets, just northeast of Pulteney Square in Bath, form a small enclave of middle-class housing built between about 1830 and 1908. Most are two-story frame dwellings on lots under an acre, and their similar scale gives the three-block area a cohesive look. The houses show a range of styles: Greek Revival examples from the 1830s and 1840s, including the Ten Eyck Gansevoort House and the brick McMaster/Parkhurst House; Italianate houses with bracketed eaves and cupolas from Bath's railroad-era prosperity; Queen Anne houses with multi-gabled roofs; and one Colonial Revival house. Owners included a lawyer and county judge, a produce dealer, a carriage maker and a department store partner. The district is considered the only intact nineteenth-century middle-class residential neighborhood left in the village, and its boundaries exclude the modern and altered buildings nearby.
