At the foot of Burd Street stands one of the few remaining factory buildings in Nyack. Built in 1877 as a shoe factory, it became a hat manufactory in 1884. In 1984, it was home to two firms, Schofield & Colgan, Architects and Lawler, Matusky, and...
Time and change have not been kind to this Burd Street home in Nyack. The windows on the second floor have been altered and repairs are evident in the roof and the steps, but the four-part gable and the Chinese Chippendale-style balustrade are of...
An unusual playing card motif frieze and a central chimney join this two-part building in Nyack. The steepness of lower Burd Street is evident in the placement of the doorways.

This is the White Avenue side of 180 South Franklin Street. The front porch detailing is repeated on the side and back. The ground level has been dug into the hillside and doesn't extend to the back of the dwelling. See also Nyack Library image...
The high porch creates a whole additional floor for this house. The ground level may have been the original kitchen area. The ornamentation on the porch is unlike any other house in the Nyack villages.
This house displays some fine Gothic details in the hooded windows, the roof pendant, and the porch arches. The upper story is covered with rick-rack shingles while the lower is sided with a narrow clapboard. The tall willow and cedar trees...
The rectangular appearance of this four-square mansard house is relieved by the matching curves over the door and windows and in the balustrade. The Village of Nyack has many houses of this style.
From the sidewalk, one faces a long climb to the porch and front entrance of this small house. The entrance may have once been on the ground level or at the side. The back section has a quatrefoil window, a decorative element that is rarely seen in...
