Look! Mira! Walking Tour: Dubois Street

Sunday, October 8th at 11am at the (New)burgh Porch, 15 S. Johnston Street, Newburgh.

This walking tour celebrates the under-recognized architectural, historical and social gems of Dubois Street. The street historically presented an alternative to Grand and Montgomery Street, home to the city’s older merchant families, and gave opportunities to a new generation of entrepreneurs and institutions. On this walk we’ll see how builders and neighbors tried to create the ideal neighborhood overtime, and meet some of the personalities who called the street home. Further along we’ll stop at a church, statue, hospital, and former college building—indicators of the street’s prestige. We're looking to gather more contemporary histories, so if you have some stories, please share along the walk!

The tour was written by architectural historian Steven Baltsas and will be led by architect Anoushae Eirabie. All Look! Mira! Walking Tours are available on Urban Archive.

This event is co-sponsored by The Fullerton and Urban Archive and is presented as part of @archtober, NYC's annual architecture and design festival.
