Main Street Historic District
Also known as: See also:Wynkoop Stone House,96000138
The pin is a point inside the NPS boundary polygon, not a surveyed location.
Why it's listed
Main Street Historic District covers roughly 70 acres along Route 209 in the hamlet of Stone Ridge, in the town of Marbletown, Ulster County. It contains 36 contributing primary buildings, 50 contributing outbuildings, 5 contributing structures and 1 contributing site. Development followed a single line along the ridge, with outbuildings the only buildings behind the street. The core is seven stone houses from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, including the Hasbrouck House, Tack Tavern and Wynkoop-Lounsbery House. Around them are Greek Revival frame homes and shops from the 1830s to 1850s, including the 1851 Dutch Reformed Church with its colossal Ionic columns. A local building boom in the early twentieth century added Craftsman houses, among them a matched pair of 1925 homes at the south end. The district excludes the modern commercial area to the north. Only the 1936 Town Hall postdates the 1750-1930 period, and the streetscape, trees and layout remain largely intact.
Significance in brief: The district grew around a core of eighteenth and early nineteenth century stone houses, mixed with Greek Revival commercial and frame buildings and early twentieth century Craftsman homes. It keeps a quiet, village-like streetscape that has changed little since the early twentieth century. The form describes it as having a high level of integrity.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
