July 2018 - Birdseye View of Greenville

This circa 1905 photo shows a view toward Greenville’s four corners from “Stevens’ Hill” with its cornfield and orchards. On the far left is the steeple of the Presbyterian Church (Prevost Hall). The bigger building in front of that is Cunningham’s Funeral Home. Just to the right is the Elsie Roe house, razed in the 1960s to make way for the National Bank of Coxsackie. On the far right stands the Vanderbilt house (Greenville Arms). Closest to the viewer, in the center of the photo is the carriage shed for the Vanderbilt house, still part of Greenville Arms. Almost all other buildings no longer exist. The two-tiered roofed building is the Greenville Theater; the building and its side yard is pre-Mary’s and pre-Cumberland’s. Other buildings in the maze of structures in the center include the Greenville Hotel (site of Town Building) and Hartt’s Store (site of parking lot of the Town Building). In the center distance, just below the tree line lies the Greenville Cemetery.
