Old Watervliet Corner Building A Once Busy Community Hub
The corner at Broadway and Sixteenth Street in Watervliet, once a bustling social and commercial center for two centuries, was condemned as unsafe. The building housed the Watervliet Police Department until the City Ball was built, with a history tying to West Troy and area governance. Old records note various street name changes, reorganizations of police districts, and long civic associations connected to the structure and its tenants over time.
