On passing this home one afternoon we noticed that the front door was bolted with a lock from the outside. Two extensions have been built over the years as is noticeable in the rear. This home is on a section of Spring Street where there are many adorable homes. There aren’t that many houses on [...]

This house at 55 Chambers Street has the potential to be such a charming home! Unfortunately it is far from it. This neglected property would be a huge addition to the block if purchased and fixed up along with the two homes to the left: 51 and 53 Chambers. The City of Newburgh owns it [...]

Here is a quirky row house at 52 Chambers Street. This home has seen better days, and if not rescued will probably collapse soon. There are a great number of artistic things happening on this block including the Queen of the Hudson Music Series, urban garden,  Habitat for Humanity Housing Blitz and the new offices [...]

This house at 128 First Street is stunning in the bright rays of the sun. It just needs some one to come and rescue it. This is another home owned by Kenna Enterprises. It was sold for $45,000 in 2003. Today it sits vacant and abandoned. This property is close to Robert Fontaine’s carriage house [...]

I love that although these homes are over a hundred years old and have been battered and neglected, they still retain original details. For example the door. You just need to replace the window pane and you have a functioning door again. The brick, cornice, and porch are all in pretty decent shape as well. [...]

This building is located at 2 Liberty Street, directly in front of the Liberty Street School. Right now it is pretty much a shell as the roof has collapsed. Liberty Street is the focus of the revitalization epicenter in Newburgh. This property would be a great addition to the movement. It was bought in 2004 [...]

This is an adorable house on Spring Street, which I am guessing is 30 Spring Street. It is smack in the middle of the new East Parmenter Neighborhood being created by Habitat for Humanity. It would be great to see the neighboring houses saved and inhabited as well. This area has seen an incredible change. [...]

Here is a great home to consider rescuing, 106 Washington St. It is only steps away from Liberty Street, Caffe Macchiato, Washington’s Headquarters and neighboring shops. Walking distance from the property is the Newburgh Ferry for those of you that would consider commuting to Manhattan. Next door to the right is the abandoned Clinton Hotel which, [...]

This Brick Shell located at 104 Washington Street is ready to be saved. Though the roof and floors are missing, leaving this building a shell the masonry looks to be in good shape except near the roofline where it’s been exposed to the elements. There’s a small alley separating it from 100 Washington, and a [...]

This house on Renwick is only three doors down from the Liberty Street School. The iron work above the door way and windows is simply gorgeous. However, something horrible was done to that front window facade. The property was sold in March 2011 for $28,500 but today it sits empty and abandoned. Newburgh is New [...]
