This is actually the rear of 3875 Main Street.
Of particular note are the roof brackets which are singles rather than the more common pairs and note too the modillions and the fanciful window surrounds.

Griffiths Hunt (1846-1930) came to Warrensburgh in 1872 and in partnership with Capt. Myron Nelson Dickinson established a hardware and tin shop in what would become the Rist Block (3861 Main Street). After Capt. Dickinson retired, Mr. Hunt moved the business to the building just north of the Woodward Block, between Main and Hudson streets. He built his house on upper Main Street (now 3927 Main Street) sometime before 1876 and enlarged it in 1888. Hunt had a fondness for fine horses and raised several Morgan steeds on a farm on the Schroon River Road. On October 29, 1924 he began a “going out of business sale” selling at less than wholesale in order to close out "an immense stock in just as short a time as possible."
Charles Williams Hunt, son of John G. and Kate Williams (Woodruff) Hunt, was born on December 12, 1878. He graduated from Warrensburg High School in 1896. He entered his father’s (John G. Hunt) hardware store, and learned the trade of plumber. He became a "worshipful master" of the Warrensburg Masonic Lodge No. 425. On February 12, 1908, he married Mabel Wilson of Indian Lake. They had two daughters, Marian and Martha and a son, John G. In 1910 they moved to Clarendon, Virginia to be near his wife's parents. Mabel's father, Edward Wilson, was a charter member of Warrensburg F. & A. Masons, Lodge 425. Charles died on July 20, 1947 in Arlington, Virginia.
