Discontiguous District


The discontiguous portion of the Hamlet  of Warrensburgh Historic District is comprised of a cohesive cluster of four highly intact and historically significant  properties ranging in date from 1864-1926.  Located at the southeastern  end of Main Street on its north side, the discontiguous portion of the district is physicaiiy separated from the larger district by a sudden change in• the topography (steep hillside). The intervening space also contains a smaii cluster of altered late-nineteenth century residences, a large property owned by
the Catholic Church, St, Cecilia’s  Catholic Church and Rectory (potentially National Register eligible), and a large, post-1950 residence atop the hillside.
