New Baltimore National Historic District

The New Baltimore Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.This honor recognizes the community as being both architecturally and historically significant as one of the few intact and surviving examples of a 19th century Hudson River hamlet.



The District includes 95 buildings, most built in the mid 19th century when the Hamlet was a center of local commerce and industry. The District is mainly comprised of buildings reflecting the residential development of this river front hamlet from the late 18th century to the late 19thcentury. It includes a rich diversity of architectural styles including Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles. Also included are two notable religious buildings, (the New Baltimore Dutch Reformed Church, still a religious center of the community, and the former Methodist Church, now a private residence), a former school, and a cemetery.
