Historic Architecture

Walking or driving down South Broadway it is hard not to stop every few feet and stare at the gorgeous architecture of the buildings that line the street. As you make your way to  Nyck’s various historic sites, restaurants and shops, look around at the historic architecture. One building in particular that stands out is the Rockland County YMCA Headquarters. This corner building was constructed in 1927 by architects M.L. and H.G. Emery, the same architects who designed the Nyack Public Library just down the road.

Iglesia La Mision

Continuing south down South Broadway the area becomes more residential, but the stylish homes are just as ogle-worthy as the downtown buildings. There are also many beautiful churches around the neighborhood, such as the First Reformed Church of Nyack which was rebuilt in 1901 with a looming brick clocktower, and the 19th-century, Romanesque style St. Paul’s United Methodist Church on Division Avenue which is now Iglesia La Mision.
