Bridge Street
In the heart of downtown Plattsburgh, Bridge Street crosses the Saranac River (hence the name of the street) and passes the historic downtown. Only few blocks long, it runs from the mouth of the Saranac River at Lake Champlain past buildings of a typical 19th century down town with ground floor shops and offfices surmounted usually by rental apartments. From the bridge itself,you can follow the path along the river to the MacDonough Monument and then City Hall. At the lower end of Bridge Street, you find the Plattsburgh Marina.
The largest and most impressive building on Bridge Street is the railroad station.

The Plattsburgh station was opened in 1886, previously used as a Delaware and Hudson Railway Depot,[4] and was designed by Albany architects Fuller & Wheeler,[5] in the French Provincial style.
