Haddock's Hall
Haddock's Hall is an historic commercial building located at Piermont in Rockland County, New York, United States. It was built about 1875 and is a two-story, three bay wide, brick commercial / civic building. It features a three-story tower. It was originally constructed for use as a store, warehouse, and village hall.[2] The building was commissioned by Rodger Haddock (1827–1891) [3] from his brother-in-law William Henry Hand (1837–1898).[4] Haddock started his business in 1857 in a store first established by Major Taulman. The current brick structure replaced the old store and was reputed to be the largest general store in Rockland County.[5] The store was closed and the contents auctioned after Haddock's death.[6] In 1900 it became the Hasbrouck Motor Works, making motors for yachts. And then from 1926 until 1975 a silk mill operated by the Buser Silk Company[7] and later the Miesch Silk Manufacturing Co.[8] that produced ribbons for military decorations and rip cords for parachutes.[9] The building is now divided into residential apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1] References
