Looks are deceiving with this home right in front of Downing Park. This seemingly small home is actually quite large, and is being advertised as a 2 family property. The interior is a bit difficult to make out due to the many personal items in the photos. However, there is a nice long driveway on the left which is a luxury when living in the city. Being in front of Downing Park is a nice feature as well.

Real estate can change block by block in the City of Newburgh. This one, if rehabbed properly could help boost this area. It is located on Liberty in between Broadway and 1st Avenue, aka Quality Row. Next door is 188 Liberté, a venue for artistic event and movie lovers and lower Broadway is set to see some changes soon. The listing says that the property needs electrical and plumbing and to “bring your imagination”. Be prepared as there are no interior photos available. One thing for sure, it would be nice to see the second entrance restored and a proper commercial space put back on the first floor. Although, it looks like that entrance hasn’t been there for decades according to the 1980 historical survey. Bring your imagination indeed.

Since Newburgh Restoration was started, I have seen many businesses come and go in Newburgh. One business that has consistently been there, and maintains consistent hours, is Newburgh Art Supply. Their door is always open. They are often the go-to spot when visitors come to the city looking for some more insight on the Newburgh scene and, they also support the burgeoning art community in the city. Below, they wanted to write a note of thanks. Congrats Michael and Gerardo!
We, Gerardo Castro and Michael Gabor, at Newburgh Art Supply are very excited to celebrate our 7th year in business this month.
Looking back on these seven years we are filled with immense pride for what we have achieved and even greater gratitude for the incredible support which has helped us get here. Our successes, rooted in our continuous commitment to community and friendships are in no small way a direct result of the overwhelming support we have received from our community, customers, and partners. Without you we would not be where we are today.
Newburgh Art Supply has experienced tremendous growth and significant accomplishments over the years. We have and continue to collaborate and partner with many local businesses, colleges, institutions and individuals to create events, gallery exhibitions and countless activities that foster change and transform our everyday experience with the arts…The Lightbulb Project, Art About Water and the highly anticipated Newburgh Open Studios celebrating 5 years in September have become a staple, of the Arts, in Newburgh.
As we continue to build a stronger relationship with each and every one of you, we fully recognize that your support and the continued trust that you place in us is the foundation of our success: we thank you! And HURRAY- to many more years of NEWBURGH ART SUPPLY!
The Chapman Steamer Firehouse is one of the last few original firehouses (one more here) in the City of Newburgh. Over the years, we have all been watching it carefully to see what will become of it. We were all saddened when the last plans fell through, but happily it has been bought again by a new young couple! There are no details to share as of yet, but this by itself is great news for the property and the surrounding area.
A few weeks back the Newburgh Community Land Bank published renderings for its Broadway Corridor Demonstration Project that reimagines the Broadway/Liberty Street intersection. The City of Newburgh and the Land Bank want to demonstrate options for redesigning Broadway to improve safety, enhance open space, and encourage sustainability.
There are 4 concepts which show the gradual development of Broadway for complete streets. Concept 4 shows a grand vision of widened sidewalks, a bus lane, and a planted median. This intersection is considered the heart of downtown Newburgh as it extends to Washington’s Headquarters. It was the heart of the Newburgh Illuminated Festival, and plans are now moving ahead for a community park on the south west corner. For more information, go to the Newburgh Community Land Bank website.
