Referred to as The Old Dutch Church, it is located in Uptown Kingston. Many of the city's historic churches populate Wurts street (6 in one block) among them Hudson Valley Wedding Chapel is a recently restored church built in 1867 and now a chapel hosting weddings. Another church in the Rondout is located at 72 Spring Street. Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church was founded in 1849. The original church building at the corner of Hunter Street and Ravine Street burned to the ground in the late 1850s. The current church on Spring Street was built in 1874.

    Kingston became New York's first capital in 1777, and was burned by the British on October 13, 1777, after the Battles of Saratoga. In the 19th century, the city became an important transport hub after the discovery of natural cement in the region, and had both railroad and canal connections.

    The town of Rondout, New York, now a part of the city of Kingston, became an important freight hub for the transportation of coal from Honesdale, Pennsylvania to New York City through the Delaware and Hudson Canal. This hub was later used to transport other goods, including bluestone. Kingston shaped and shipped most of the bluestone made to create the sidewalks of New York City.

    KINGSTON, NY – Mayor Steven T. Noble and the Superintendent of Public Works are pleased to announce the first round of paving in 2025 will be Saint James Street from Broadway to 37-39 Saint James Street and Prospect Street from Saint James Street to Henry Street.

    Milling is expected to begin on Monday, April 21 and paving is expected to be completed by Friday, April 25, weather depending. During this time, there may be detours and changes in traffic patterns. 

    The next round of paving will be Spring Street from Broadway to Ravine Street, which is expected to be milled starting on Monday, May 12, with paving completed by Friday, May 16, weather depending.    

    “We are looking forward to a robust paving schedule this year, starting with the remaining section of Saint James Street and a portion of Prospect Street, quickly followed by a lengthy section of Spring Street,” said Mayor Noble. “I want to thank the Department of Public Works for their coordination with local utility companies and working with Central Hudson for their upcoming restoration project. Temporary road closures will be put in place during this work, and I thank residents for their patience while these crucial road improvements are underway.”

    During milling and paving operations, all vehicles must remain off the street. Never move or go around barricades.

    The next round of paving will be announced in the coming weeks. Paving season is expected to continue through October 2025.

    In addition to the City of Kingston’s paving, Central Hudson will begin paving restoration in areas that were most affected by their gas line replacement work. Starting Tuesday, April 6, Central Hudson’s paving restoration will begin on impacted sections of the following streets: Washington Avenue (day 1), Donovan Place, Noone Lane, and Linderman Ave (mill day 2, pave day 3), Fair Street (day 4), South Wall Street (day 5), South Pine Street (day 6), North Wilbur Avenue (day 7), South Clinton Avenue, Barmann, Avenue, South Prospect Street, Hilton Place (mill day 8, pave day 9), and the Greenkill Ave bike lanes (day 10-11).
