A Tour Guide to Historically Significant Sites

ettled by French refugees in the 1680s, New Rochelle grew from a farming community to a resort town to Sone of America’s premier suburban communities, before becoming incorporated as a city in 1899. The 20th cen- tury brought tremendous growth and a lion’s share of prominent individuals to the “Queen City on the Sound”. Now the seventh largest city in the state, New Rochelle has an abundance of buildings and landscapes that relate an extraordinary 300+-year history. While most of these physical reminders remain integral parts of daily life, all are irreplaceable threads in the community’s rich fabric.

In 1998, the City-appointed New Rochelle Historical and Landmarks Review Board contracted a grant-funded project that inventoried the majority of potentially historically significant properties in the community. The re- sulting Reconnaissance-Level Cultural Resources Survey identified more than 65 structures that met the rigorous criteria for being listed on the National Register of Historic Places: The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and: A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or

B. That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or

Design by Harquin Creative Group This Tour Guide gives the location of the identified properties, including sites that are listed on the National This project was sponsored by the New Rochelle Historical and Register and excluding properties that have either been torn down or altered beyond the criteria since the Survey Landmarks Review Board, with funds from the New York State was completed.

A Tour Guide to Historically Significant Sites

ettled by French refugees in the 1680s, New Rochelle grew from a farming community to a resort town to Sone of America’s premier suburban communities, before becoming incorporated as a city in 1899. The 20th cen- tury brought tremendous growth and a lion’s share of prominent individuals to the “Queen City on the Sound”. Now the seventh largest city in the state, New Rochelle has an abundance of buildings and landscapes that relate an extraordinary 300+-year history. While most of these physical reminders remain integral parts of daily life, all are irreplaceable threads in the community’s rich fabric.

In 1998, the City-appointed New Rochelle Historical and Landmarks Review Board contracted a grant-funded project that inventoried the majority of potentially historically significant properties in the community. The re- sulting Reconnaissance-Level Cultural Resources Survey identified more than 65 structures that met the rigorous criteria for being listed on the National Register of Historic Places: The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and: A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or

B. That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
