Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
Champlin started his business in 1858 in a building on nearby Spring Street behind the present property. His name does not show up on maps at that site until 1876, and only by 1912 does the current, one-story brick building appear on any map of the village. The entranceway was expanded and a larger door installed at some point before then.
Now it seems to be, of all things, a wine store.

Cold Spring has a particularly spectacular location: on the Hudson River in the middle of the Hudson Highlands.

Back in June I decided to have a walk around Cold Spring, NY. I’ve been there many times but there are still areas that I have not really explored, so I decided to focus on them. However, inevitably I found my way into familiar areas including the picturesque area around the bandstand and promenade shown in the picture above.
According to Wikipedia:
Cold Spring is a village in the town of Philipstown in Putnam County, New York, United States. The population was 1,983 at the 2010 census. It borders the smaller village of Nelsonville and the hamlet of Garrison. The central area of the village is on the National Register of Historic Places as the Cold Spring Historic District due to its many well-preserved 19th-century buildings, constructed to accommodate workers at the nearby West Point Foundry (itself a Registered Historic Place today). The town is the birthplace of General Gouverneur K. Warren, who was an important figure in the Union Army during the Civil War. The village, located in the Hudson Highlands, sits at the deepest point of the Hudson River, directly across from West Point. Cold Spring serves as a weekend getaway for many residents of New York City.
