The Brick Row Historic District in the village of Athens, New York is a small row of brick row houses that were built as apartments for the workers of the booming clay mining industry in the late 19th century to early 20th century. The row houses are found on Brick Row St. off route 385 just north of the village of Athens. The rows are close to the Hudson River.[2]
