To accommodate Baptists in this developing neighborhood, the First Baptist Church built a mission chapel here in the 1880s. At a meeting in October 1901, this mission became Moulton Memorial Baptist Church, and the congregation planned for a new building. This brick and shingle chapel was demolished in favor of Frank E. Estabrook’s new Gothic Revival church—the present building, dating to 1902.

Woodblock printer George O. Hoyle purchased this parcel in 1892 across from his residence. The house that stands here was probably intended to be his rental property. It is distinguished by its two-story rectangular bay and use of cream-colored brick banded by brownstone. Lacey cutwork on the porch and cornice, crowing the house, made it appealing to occupants.

Two row houses were built here in the late 1850s–early 1860s. Just one survives, but its lost companion can be traced on the north wall, where the staircase outline is still visible. Eastern European immigrants Isidore and Clara Kieva began a cooperage here in the 1920s, producing wooden barrels and crates for groceries. Kieva Cooperage continues to operate from another location.

On the footprint of the synagogue building, 20-year-old Eli Hasbrouck built a house about 1816 for his new wife Harriet Belknap. This rectangular lot was blessed with spring water, fruit trees, and choice shrubs, making it highly desirable. In 1860 it became the center of a legal battle between a viciously Confederate family, the Pollards of Virginia, who ultimately disposed of it. Sisters Elizabeth and Isabella Wiley owned the house by 1870 with boarders. Isabella wed Scottish dairy merchant Alexander Morrison, and in 1891 the couple began subdividing their land. The Hasbrouck mansion eventually fell to demolition in the early 20th century.

Eastern European Jews of the Congregation B’Nai Israel began fundraising efforts for a larger synagogue in 1922 and began construction in 1925. Their architect was Thomas M. Barr, the city’s building inspector, who chose marble from Gouverneur, New York for the facade. Assembly of God, the current Spanish-speaking congregation, has worshiped here since the 1970s.

George W. Fuller purchased this corner from Alexander and Isabella Morrison in the late 1880s and built his grocery store here. In the rear of the illustration, the Morrison fence is visible. A cast iron column depicted on the retail level is still present on the building, though the storefront has been highly altered.

Washington Street School was built in 1858 to serve white children of the first ward. Most of the Washington Street corridor, however, was Black, and the children of these families were sent to a segregated school of wooden construction in a remote location. In the early 1870s, music instructor Dubois Alsdorf and Black community leaders called on the Newburgh Board of Education to allow Alsdorf's three sons to attend Washington Street School. He invoked the 1866 Civil Rights Act granting rights to formerly enslaved and free African Americans. Alsdorf was with a 6–2 vote, and Newburgh schools were formerly desegregated.

In the early 1870s the school was remodeled with a mansard roof to match the 1872 Grand Street School by Elkanah K. Shaw. The school was built originally in the Italianate style, designed by John D. Kelly and Andrew Little. A modern school building replaced it in the mid-20th century.

This residential building shell is city-owned, and possibly one of the oldest buildings left on the street. It follows building techniques established here about 1800, notably its dramatically steep roof with brick infill framing, now exposed.

This is one of the more modest storefronts on this commercial block, which became a haven for many Eastern European Jewish immigrants fleeing violent persecution back home.

Joseph and Rosa Goldman Yudelson, Russian Jewish immigrants, acquired this store about 1917. Joseph worked as a dry goods merchant from an address close by, but moved his operation here for the next 25 years. The couple and their children lived above the store, but after World War II retired to Florida. A flooring company displayed their products here in the 1960s, and by the late 1970s, Allen Temple Church of the Living God used the storefront as a worship space. The structure itself is an extension of a brick row house built behind it in the late 1880s. An iron cornice is seen above the entry.

As developers of the Washington Heights neighborhood acquired the old Robinson family farm in 1886, other nearby property owners sold off their land. Elvira L. Van Buren, one purchaser, commissioned an architect or builder to design these four cottages: Van Buren Row. Renters of the houses included railroad workers, brushmakers, carpenters, and steamboat operators. They are built in the Queen Anne style, the principal architectural style of Washington Heights. Terracotta panels and colored hexagonal shingles are still on most.

Nine small-scale houses were built here in the late 1880s for working class families, some doubling as storefronts. By the 1920s, Italian immigrant families were the primary occupants; shops included Antonio Constantino's shoemaking workshop at 114 and Salvatore Merano's barbershop at 120. Most of the commercial buildings uses cast iron window lintels and bracketed sills, an Italianate feature from decades earlier.

The final house on the street was home to one Italian American family, the Magliatos, for generations. Its builder Dominic Magliatto was born in Calabria, Italy in about 1897 and came to Newburgh with his parents at the turn of the century. Magliato took work as a mason, contractor, and pool room owner. He built this house in his early twenties. The unique treatment of the exterior in stucco gives a sense of his family's Italian training. Many Italian Americans and Catholics can trace their family's origins to this section of the city.
