When this 1873 building was first occupied, the ground floor was the drugstore of James H. Blauvelt. The very convoluted history of the property is in "Survey of Historic Buildings, Village of Nyack, New York 1988-1989," by Nieweg and Reimann. In...

Concrete steps cut into the small hill at the front of the property lead to the wide wood steps to the front entry porch of this house. The house is front-gabled and has a rosette gable decoration. The small front entry porch is covered and this...
Concrete steps with railings lead up the small hillside to the wood porch stairs. The front entry porch has a bracketed roof and gingerbreading at the top of the porch posts. There is a screen door covering the front door. The roof of the house is...
It looks like little has changed for this mansard-roofed Victorian residence. The house is on the 1884 Burleigh map, "Nyack on the Hudson." At that time there were very few houses on Gesner.
This rambling house on Orchard Street has a number of contrasts: shingles and siding, a traditional dormer and a five-sided dormer, a steep pitched roof and a flat roof. The wide front porch, however, is very inviting.
This mansard-roofed, Victorian era residence appears to be in very good condition. Brackets, window hoods, and porch details are crisp and freshly painted.

55 Burd Street is connected to #57. Both are very attractive and authentic and are distinguished by the playing card motif of the frieze just below the eaves.
Information is sorely needed on this very old Nyack house. There aren't many saltbox houses in the village and this one has seen hard times. The porch, windows, and siding have all been replaced and not restored.
The decorative elements of these brick buildings are typical of the architecture on the north side of Nyack's Main Street, west of Broadway. #86 was originally a bakery built by Oswald Luleich and is the last building with the name of the builder...
In the late 1800s, a number of similar houses were built for railroad workers and their families on this street which faced the terminus of the railroad in Nyack. This house is very similar to its neighbor, #85 Depot Place, but has vertical boards...
Many of the houses on First Avenue west of Broadway in Nyack were built in the late 1880s on very small lots. They are tied together by the builders' generous use of details, seen in the upper and lower balustrades on this porch and in the...
A couple in a four-wheeled carriage poses for the photographer. The man is wearing a dark suit and hat, the woman - a dark coat and hat. Although the setting is very similar, these are not the same people as in Nyack Library image #4027.
A beautifully colored postcard folder depicts the Storm King Highway, which was built between West Point and Cornwall, NY, in the 1920s. The road was cut into the side of Storm King Mountain, high above the Hudson River. In the fourth picture, cars...
