"Gleaming woodwork, cozy window seats, and shimmering stained glass windows contribute to the lush Gilded Age atmosphere inside this 1890s Queen Anne in Kingston. All those details do come at a price, but the interior looks lovingly cared for with restored original elements and period sympathetic updates. The dwelling on the market at 77 West Chestnut Street is within the Chestnut Street National Register Historic District, which includes substantial dwellings originally constructed for the influential and affluent of Kingston."
"Deeds indicate that George acquired land on Chestnut Street in 1894, and by the city directory of 1896 his home address is recorded as 77 West Chestnut Street. The 1895 construction date seems to be confirmed by a 1959 reprint of a blurb from a March 1895 issue of the Kingston Argus, which notes that George Coykendall was fixing up property on Chestnut Street and "intends to erect a handsome residence.""
77 West Chestnut Street is a brick Queen Anne dwelling constructed in 1895 for railroad man George Coykendall and his wife, Emma Loudon Coykendall. The architect is unknown, but the design includes a conical-roofed tower with a gracious wraparound porch, a complicated roofline, and a cornucopia of window styles such as dormers, fanlights, an eyebrow window, and multiple bays. Interior details include gleaming woodwork, cozy window seats, and shimmering stained glass, with restored original elements and period‑sympathetic updates. The property lies within the Chestnut Street National Register Historic District in Kingston, an area developed with substantial homes for influential and affluent residents in the late 19th century.
