On the National Register since 1972
Vassar Home for Aged Men
Vassar Home for Aged Men was added to the National Register of Historic Places on Apr 13, 1972. It is significant for its architecture and social history at the state level. Its architecture is described as Italianate and Second Empire.
The former Vassar Home for Aged Men is located at Main and Vassar streets in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. It is just across the street from the architecturally similar Vassar Institute, and both buildings are credited to architect J.A. Wood. In the 1970s it became the Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center.
