BOONVILLE — An icon of Boonville’s central business district, the Hulbert House, at 106 Main St., is ready for the next chapter in its iconic history.
After the doors closed at the local landmark in 2016, the historic inn sat quietly until it was purchased at auction in 2019 by Carl Vogel, of Carl’s Wholesale Furniture in New Hartford. Vogel quickly went to work renovating the upper floors into apartments.
The interior has been completely remodeled, including new plumbing, new electric, and new heating and air conditioning systems — and the building is now ready for occupation. Applications are being accepted for the furnished efficiencies and one-bedroom apartments. The apartments are shown by appointment only. Those interested can call 315-761-0000 for an appointment.
Rental rates start at $199 per week with a six-month minimum stay required. The rental rate includes all utilities, including electric, individually controlled heat and air conditioning, water, garbage removal, WIFI, and 24-hour surveillance. A 24-hour laundry room and a fitness room are also located on the premises. No pets or smoking are allowed in the building.
Vogel said the apartments are ideal for a single or couple.
For many, this location has sentimental value as a gathering place.
Vogel acknowledges this and has announced that multiple businesses, including a possible tavern and a marketplace, are in negotiations to occupy the first floor. This will give locals the opportunity to once again gather in the historic Hulbert House, he said.
The Hulbert House was originally constructed in 1812 by Ephraim Owen using Black River limestone. It was purchased by Richard Hulbert in 1839, who added a third story and an addition. Hulbert served as Oneida County clerk and in the New York State Legislature. He died in the late 1860s.
After that, the inn had several owners until it was eventually purchased by A. J. Garbarino in 1949. Garbarino contracted to have the four murals painted by local artist John David Mahaffy on an inside wall.
In 1965 the Hulbert House was purchased by the Daskiewich family, who owned and operated it until its closing in 2019.
