February 12, 4PM: William Rhoads, "Ulster County, NY: The Architectural History & Guide"
Love local/regional history in Ulster County and the Hudson Valley? We do too! That's why you should not miss William Rhoads talking about his new book,"Ulster County, NY: The Architectural History and Guide". Rhoads concept of architectural heritage is broad and all encompassing: grand mountain hotels and baronial hunting lodges are represented, but so also are the modest homes of the poor and the middle class. There are bridges and cemeteries, a “school-bus house” and a vacation resort composed largely of retired Kingston trolley cars. There are rotting huckleberry pickers’ shacks, the bizarre but creative cabins of hermits and eccentrics, side by side some of America’s most influential art colonies, “Gilded Age” mansions, and dozens of buildings on the National Register including the National Historic Landmark District in New Paltz and the National Register Historic District of Cragsmoor.
