The Newburgh Free Library building located at 100 Grand Street was built in 1876 in high Victorian style. It was built for $28,000 to serve the Enlarged City School District. Librarian Charles Estabrook, a former Newburgh Free Academy teacher and a former member of the Board of Education supervised a collection of 10,421 volumes. By 1909, the library's collection had grown to over 36,000 volumes. In 1976, the library moved to 124 Grand Street in a new building constructed by the Board of Education. The original library building still stands and currently houses the Hudson Valley Christian Church.
