477-479 Eclectic, 1814

            Built by Moses Hall, this house was sold to Colonel James Bogert in 1814. Moving his printing and newspaper office here from number 435, Bogert published the Geneva Gazette in the north half and lived with his two sisters in 479. By 1840, a bookstore, a bindery, and a music store and studio flourished all under one roof in 477. Music took over this house when Edward Kingsland bought the shop and dwelling in 1858. He and his family advanced musical art in the community, teaching piano, violin, and organ.

            The Italian hood moldings over the doors are additions by the Kingsland’s to the Federal style facades.
