Hamlet of Warrensburgh Historic District

Warrensburgh's historic core spreads across both banks of the Schroon River in Warren County, New York. The district includes 428 buildings and structures, most of them homes, along with stores, mills, churches, cemeteries and Camp Echo Lake. The river marks a clear divide. North of it, Main, Hudson and Elm streets hold the commercial blocks and the larger, more stylish houses, including Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne and Bungalow examples, with a stone Woodward Block and a 1927 neoclassical bank among the commercial landmarks. South of the river, River Street was the industrial center, with a gristmill dating from 1824, shirt factories, a feed building and a coal pocket, alongside modest wood-frame workers' houses. A small group of buildings on Main Street lies apart because of a steep hillside. The area was recognized because it preserves, in largely intact form, the way industry, commerce, religion, education and recreation shaped this hamlet through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
