Miles Thomas House - Built in 1873 by merchant Miles Thomas. This contributing residence is significant for recalling the mid-19th century residential development of the hamlet. It is a 2-story gable front structure with a rear 2-story addition. The structure has a stone foundation, clapboard siding, 2/2 sash with plain surrounds, 1-story front porch with turned wood columns dentilated frieze, gable returns, decorative cornice brackets and overhanging eaves. Decorative hardwood-paneled ceilings are a distinguishing feature of the interior.
The Town of Warrensburg, under Charles Hastings’ administration, purchased the building with federal funds in 1978. It has housed the 50 Plus Club (Senior Citizens), Warrensburgh Beautification, Inc. and (for a time) the Chamber of Commerce. The Town Historian’s office is located in an addition at the rear of the building. The Warrensburgh Community Gardens, developed in 2011 by Warrensburgh Beautification Inc. grace its grounds. A barn at the rear of the building previously used by the Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District was demolished in May of 2009.
