Stockade district protects past to boost future value
In Schenectady New York the Stockade historic district safeguards 18th and 19th century architecture with a commission oversight set in 1982. Civic action began when homeowners formed the Stockade Association in 1950 and secured protections to preserve architectural harmony and property values. Citizens tour restored homes, many built before 1825, and guided walks showcase gardens and interiors in a living reminder of a human scale urban past.
