Town of New Paltz HPC Considers Nomination of Floyd Patterson Property for Landmark Designation

The Town of New Paltz Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) has set up a public hearing to consider the nomination of the Floyd Patterson estate as a designated historic landmark. The HPC will hold the hearing on Aug. 15, 2023, at 7 p.m. at the Town of New Paltz Community Center, 3 Veterans Drive.

The HPC is considering the nomination of the Floyd Patterson estate as a landmark worthy of protection due to its special historical and cultural value. The property, at 85-87 Springtown Road, is owned by Judith and Uriel Halbreich. Judith Halbreich initiated a discussion with the HPC seeking this consideration. She then submitted a nomination form complete with documents attesting to the property’s landmark eligibility due to its cultural and historical significance directly associated with Patterson, an American professional boxer who was the first to hold the world heavyweight championship twice.
