This week, Upstater explores the city and town of Newburgh. Gritty yet beautiful, the city offers up surprising jewels of architecture, like today’s pick.
This Italianate row house in Newburgh is a beauty in brick. It shares a wall with its neighboring townhouse, but with almost 2,000 square feet of interior space, there’s room to roam. A black front porch mirrors the cornices up top.
