The Indian Brook Road Historic District is located on both sides of that street's intersection with US 9 east of Garrison, New York, United States.

The district consists of two irregularly shaped areas along unpaved Indian Brook Road joined by a narrow corridor along the brief, paved section of Route 9 that connects them.

[2] The land in the district is heavily wooded, with tall trees shading the buildings within, mostly frame houses and supporting structures no higher than two stories.

Indian Brook, the tributary of the Hudson River that lends its name to the district, closely parallels the road and is even partially included as a contributing property, due to an early mill pond's location along it.

At this junction is the Bird and Bottle Inn, a surviving tavern from the early days of Nelson's Corner that incorporates a small portion of the original building.

[2] Warren was not able to buy his land outright until 1821, when a compensation claim by the heirs of Frederick Philipse, the local landowner whose holdings had been confiscated by the state for his Loyalist sympathies during the war, was settled on the condition that all leaseholds be abolished.

[2] Sometime in the early 19th century (the exact date is not known), John Warren dammed Indian Brook to create a mill and pond as a way of increasing the economic worth of his property.

[2] John Nelson closed the tavern, since the rise of the railroads had diverted much of the traffic once handled by the Post Road to the riverside, and used the building as his family residence.
