The building in Haverstraw that was the subject of Edward Hopper’s 1925 painting “House by the Railroad” still stands proud.  The haunting depiction of the three story house by Hopper came to the attention of the cast and crew of Alfred Hitchcock’s movie classic, Psycho.  Hopper’s painting inspired not only the design of the Bates Mansion in the 1960 production, but the mood of the film as well. From Nyack to Haverstraw to Hollywood, Hoppermania is contagious.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Architecture is one of the most enduring clues to history," says Win Perry, the President of the Historical Society of the Nyacks. "It helps us visualize how people of various periods lived, what delighted them, what was fashionable, what they could afford, and how they chose to express themselves."  Nyack's rich architectural history is the focus of the historical society's Winter 2012 edition.

The man who built this house, with the benefit of slave labor, laid much of the foundation for the village we occupy.   Since his death in 1842, John Green’s house has had many owners and tenants.  Because of the neglect of its current absentee landlord, the building might soon crumble into dust.]]></description>

Not every beautiful old house in Nyack merits its own historic marker.  For other properties, the traditional historic marker is not a loud enough shout out.  Clearly, there are many addresses that could compete for the title of most interesting building in the village.  In lieu of the debate over criteria, and before a jury can be impaneled, I suggest the former offices of a feminist pioneer, known as Couch Court, for future consideration.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1884, Nyack, NY was a bustling river community and the commercial heart of Rockland County. This sketch is from a widely circulated map made by L. R Burleigh in that year that depicts a jumble of homes, businesses and churches. I recently took a closer look at this historical document and discovered that our 19th century republic on the Hudson was not as indivisible as the promise made in our pledge of allegiance.]]></description>

San Francisco has City Lights, New York City has the Strand and Nyack has the Pickwick Book Shop. The experience of shopping at Pickwick has changed little since it first opened in 1945. A seemingly infinite number of titles are crammed into a dense thicket of shelves. Books cover the floor and walls, arching as they approach the ceiling in ponderously tall stacks, in the way that trees canopy in a rain forest. At the center of this untamed landscape of literature is Pickwick’s owner, Jack Dunnigan.]]></description>

At the end of this month, Grace Episcopal Church will conclude the celebration of 150 years of worship. A building that survives nearly 150 years had to be expertly designed and constructed from the best materials. When a church celebrates a triple jubilee, generations of dedicated congregants served as a sturdy foundation and the founding rector, a visionary architect. Latent fingerprints from the church’s founder, Franklin Babbitt are detectable on the stones that form the building and a special plant in the garden.]]></description>
