Look! Mira! Walking Tour- William Street

This walking tour  celebrates the under-recognized architectural, historical and social gems of  William Street. The street first opened in the early 19th century to provide  access to estates and pastures just on the fringes of what was then the  Village of Newburgh. After decades of development the street matured into a  rich corridor of European immigrant shops and houses. Stopping at modified  buildings, active residences, and a building shell, we’ll learn of stories  exemplifying this transition. The built environment of the street helps to  visualize this multilayered history, continuously changing, as the  neighborhood is now mostly Spanish-speaking. We’re looking to gather more  contemporary histories, so if you have some stories, please share along the  walk!

The tour is available  on Urban Archive and was written by architectural historian Steven Baltsas  and led by architect Anoushae Eirabie.
