Henry Doersch & Company was an old established grocer on South Broadway in Nyack. Three men stand in the doorway and a fourth holds a horse which is in harness for a wagon- possibly the delivery wagon. The four story building has several large...
Several men and children stand in front of a four-story building. In the sidewalk area are hung the carcasses of many animals, large and small. In the 1950s, this was a Whelan's Drug Store.
This corner building, known as the Equity or the Commercial Building, was originally four stories. A fire destroyed the upper two. Several stores are found on the bottom floor, women's accessories and clothing, a jeweler and a thrift shop. In 1919,...
Little can be seen of this house, hidden by trees and hedge. The high peak of the roof and the sunburst over the entryway are interesting architectural details.
This wedding cake house was built in 1884. It does not appear on the 1884 Burleigh view of Nyack on Hudson, but was included in the 1984 Hopper House exhibit of centennial houses in Nyack. It has every Victorian embellishment: bargeboard, brackets,...
This house, built as a gingerbread Victorian in 1895, has been much changed. In 1936 it was sold to Joseph Schmidt, a NYC baker, and he and his family made many of the alterations. The history of the Schmidt house is discussed in Terry Talley's...
A parade is forming on Church Street. Herbert V. Baldwin and Edmund Good, in Dutch costumes and wooden shoes, hold a large banner commemorating the Reformed Church's one hundredth anniversary.
A number of men (perhaps firemen) dressed in costumes for the parade honoring the one hundredth anniversary of the Nyack Fire Department. One is in a hula skirt, another in a barrel; most are wearing female garb.
Many additions have been made to the original South Boulevard structure. On the left are sleeping porches and on the right, what seems to be an additional house.

Known as the Heldt House, this 1892 residence has an interesting history. The lot was part of the Peter J. Smith holdings, which ran from the river to the top of the mountain. There are more details in Terry Talley's book, "Gems of the Hudson."
On the 1884 Burleigh map, "Nyack on the Hudson," there are several houses of this style on Jackson Avenue, west of Franklin Street. And the house is said to be on the 1873 Dripps map, when the street was called Smith Street. Little has changed...
This house at 104 South Broadway is one of a row of stately homes. The central Italianate tower is flanked by peaked dormers which have intricately carved bargeboards. This carving is repeated over the entrance.
This early twentieth century house has not been changed much. The wide front porch has four simple pillars and the two-story bay window has fish-scale shingles. In the 1980s and 1990s it was the home of Geroge and Leslie Hearn. George is remembered...
