Winslow-Turner Carriage House
Why it's listed
Built around 1876 for E.S. Winslow, this brick carriage house at 210 Cornelia Street in Plattsburgh is now used as a residence. It has a two-storey rectangular plan on a stone foundation, with a 1 1/2 storey wing to the north. The hip roof is covered in tri-color patterned slate and topped by a wooden cupola with brackets, mouldings, cut work and a finial. Brick walls carry moulded cornices, decorative brackets and a brick frieze with corbeled spandrels. The facade has a large central double door, and the windows have wooden lug sills and segmental lintels. Winslow was a partner in a flour mill and feed business and served as vice president of a local bank in 1892. The property later passed to the Turner family. The main house was demolished in 1976, leaving the carriage house as the sole survivor of the complex. It is regarded as the finest carriage house in the city, with its original ornamentation intact.
Significance in brief: The inventory form calls it the finest example of carriage house construction in Plattsburgh, possibly in Clinton County. It is richly detailed, keeps all of its original ornamentation and is structurally sound. It is also the only surviving element of a house and outbuilding complex that once stood on the site.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
