Simpson as the "Missionary Training Institute". It is considered to be the first school of its kind in North America.{{Citation needed|date=February 2012}} Simpson Hall, built 1897, is believed to be one of the oldest wooden institutional structures and largest the Victorian structure in the Hudson Valley.{{Citation needed|date=February 2012}} *St. Paulβs United Methodist Church β 134 South Broadway at Division Avenue ===Other sites of interest=== The Nyack Ice House, formerly located at 90 Clinton Avenue, which opened in 1881, producing and delivering blocks of ice to homes, restaurants, bars and stores, was demolished on April 2 and 3, 2008. During the 19th century, the Nyack Ice House was the only ice plant between [[Englewood, New Jersey]] and [[Newburgh, New York]]. When sold in 1921, production of coal and later oil began at the site and the name changed to "Nyack Ice and Coal Co." In 1965, the business also sold milk and was operated under the original name. Recently, the company sold mostly to ice carvers and supermarkets and supplied the ice for magician [[David Blaine]]'s stunt in 2000 when he suspended himself in a block of ice over [[Times Square]]. Orangetown Fire Company No. 1, located at 90 Depot Place, was founded in 1834 and was Rockland County's first fire company. Today it is one of eight components of the Nyack Fire Department. The company was unofficially formed in 1832 with 16 members and was organized in 1834. The company still holds in its possession its first apparatus, which dates back to 1749 and survived a fire in the firehouse some years ago. The Orangetown Fire Company No. 1 also serves [[Upper Nyack, New York|Upper Nyack]] and [[Nyack, New York|Nyack]].
