The Zadock Pratt Museum Board of Trustees
dedication services for our Zadock Pratt Commercial Building was held on
November 3, 2007 at 2:00 PM. The building will be open for display in
the 2008 season and will be a source of
Visitor Information for the local area. Dedication Services were
held at the Reformed Dutch Church, Main Street, Prattsville.
Guest Speakers were John Bonifide, NYS
Historical Preservation Services Coordinator and Laura Cuthbert,
representing the Dresser family.
The Commercial Building is one of over 100
Prattsville houses and building build by Colonel Zadock Pratt and was
the office of the Felt Mill. The exposed hemlock beams, office decor and
select items from the Zadock collection will be on display for visitors
in season.
John Bonifide reflected that this single event
has been more than twelve years in the making with many challenges
including the big flood. Since 1986, many local properties have achieved
the distinction of being designated to the National Register of Historic
Places, the Commercial Building is now one of fifteen (15) historic
sites in Prattsville.
John also noted that “Zadock Pratt was a
visionary man who not only looked far into the future, but also planned
for that future…Landmarks along the way…are tangible reminders of Zadock
Pratt’s vision for this community. As you stroll the streets of Pratt’s
great city today, try looking into the future and see the endless
possibilities.”
