Mill Street-North Clover Street Historic District (Boundary Increase)

Two small groups of surviving buildings on the southern edge of Poughkeepsie's Mill Street-North Clover Street district were added to its boundary. They had been left out of the original listing because demolition was planned, and much of that demolition never happened. One group is six attached brick and frame buildings at 101-111 Main Street, plus 113-115 Main Street, with storefronts at street level and dating from about 1840 to 1850. The other is four detached houses at 25, 27, 29 and 32 North Bridge Street, built between about 1850 and 1875. Number 29 is a distinctive Second Empire house with a slate mansard roof. The Main Street block is the district's only commercial section and a rare fragment of the commercial and residential architecture once concentrated near the Hudson River. The houses continue the district's residential streetscape and reflect its Greek Revival, Second Empire and vernacular building stock. Together they recall the maritime-era village that grew on the river slope.
