From Wikipedia:

Indian Brook Road Historic District

The Indian Brook Road Historic District is located on both sides of that street's intersection with US 9 east of Garrison, New York, United States. Its 30 acres (12 ha) contain 15 buildings, all but two of which are considered contributing properties to its historic character.

From the late 18th to mid-20th century, the area was a rural hamlet known first as Warrens and later as Nelson's Corner. Unlike most other such small country settlements, it has survived industrialization and the automobile era with its basic plan, and most of its buildings, relatively intact. In 1993, the area was designated a historic district and added to the National Register of Historic Places.
