Clermont Building, Stockade District, Kingston

This large scale mural advertisement for The Jennifer Shop, selling Distinctive Women’s Fashions, can be found on the back side of the Clermont Building, a late 19th century commercial building located at 295-299 Wall Street in the heart of Kingston’s Stockade District. The historic Stockade District is an eight block area bounded by North Front Street to the north, Main Street to the south, Green Street to the west and Clinton Avenue to the east. The streets are laid out today just as they were in 1658 when the village was formed. The district contains eight 17th century stone houses, another dozen buildings from the 18th and early 19th centuries, plus many other architecturally appealing buildings. The Stockade District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
