Orange Turnpike, Parallel to new Orange Turnpike, Monroe, Orange County, NY
Summary
Significance: This portion of the Orange Turnpike is the only remaining portion of the Turnpike that has not been widened or modernized, having escaped this fate through a ca. 1917 re-routing of the turnpike around the Migel Estate and Farm (HABS No. NY-6356). The section of the Orange Turnpike that remains on the estate retains much of its nineteenth-century context, form and character, including two nineteenth-century dwellings that also pre-date the estate.
Survey number: HAER NY-312
Nothing Found.
