Statement of Historic Contexts Introduction The Historic and Architectural Resources of Roslyn Harbor Multiple Property Submission includes six individually significant properties. The nominated resources illustrate the distinctive features of the architectural and historical development of the village from its beginnings in the 18th century to 1930, when the last of the large estates was completed. Several individual properties and one small historic district are not included in this submission but are discussed in the following context and property type statements, and may be nominated at a later date. The small village of Roslyn Harbor, incorporated in 1931, covers an area of approximately 670 acres and in 1994 had a population of about 1,300, with approximately 362 residences. The village is a residential suburban community located between the more built-up villages of Roslyn to the south and Glenwood Landing to the north. These two villages have commercial centers; Roslyn Harbor does not. Roslyn Harbor is located on Long Island's north shore approximately 18 miles east of New York City. The western boundary of Roslyn Harbor extends along one-and-one-quarter miles of the shore of Hempstead Harbor, a long reach of Long Island Sound. Along the low shoreline to the south there are two mill ponds and several smaller ponds. Just beyond the shore the land rises steeply. The shore to the north rises abruptly to a high bluff. The village shoreline ends at the north at Mott's Cove. Inland, Roslyn Harbor has a general elevation of 100 to 150 feet Above Sea Level, with some higher hills (Goddard p. 4). It is the scenic beauty of these hills and the harbor views that first lured tourists and subsequently wealthy families to build country estates. Roslyn Harbor is almost exclusively a suburban residential community and much of the land has been taken up in the past 40 years by residential subdivisions. A few large properties remain, especially along Hempstead Harbor, but there are two particularly extensive properties in the village: the modern Engineer's Country Club maintains over 150 acres as a golf course and Nassau County owns and maintains a 165-acre property, the former Clayton and Cedarmere Estates (National Register listed) as their Office of Cultural Development and a museum. The properties included in the multiple property submission comprise a unique collection of frame, brick, and stone residential buildings which embody the distinctive characteristics of the types, periods, and methods of construction specific to Roslyn Harbor's architectural and historical 0MB No.1024-0018, NFS Form United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Historic and Architectural Resources of Roslyn Harbor MPS, Nassau County, New York Section number E Page 3 development. Residential building types, representing all periods of the town's historical development from c. 1685 through 1930 are included in the submission. The oldest properties in the multiple property submission are associated with the early settlement period when Roslyn Harbor was mainly an agricultural area with two large farms and a few smaller ones. Beginning in the 1830s Roslyn Harbor's picturesque shoreline was recognized as a rural retreat for wealthy New Yorkers. From that time until c. 1930, the community's farmhouses and farmland were transformed into large country estates by New Yorkers seeking weekend and summer retreats from the city. Most of the properties in the multiple property submission are from this 100-year period of the development of Roslyn Harbor. In addition to the creation of large country estates, Roslyn Harbor also saw the development of small-lot residential dwellings in the southern portion of the community during the period 1850-1890. This development was associated with the neighboring village of Roslyn which had port facilities and was becoming a commercial center. Three historic contexts cover the historical and architectural developments of what is now the Incorporated Village of Roslyn Harbor: Settlement, 1643-1834; Estate Development, 1830-1930; and Small-lot Residential Development, 1850-1890. Settlement of Roslyn Harbor Area, 1643-1834 As Roslyn Harbor did not become an incorporated village until 1931, the early history of the area is connected with that of the village of Roslyn and the town of Hempstead (now North Hempstead). Originally, most of the north shore of Long Island was inhabited by the Matinecock tribe of the

NY1's Roger Clark has more in the following report. Across the street from the Flushing cemetery is the final resting place for 1,000 people. But there are no headstones or landscaping - it's a playground built over a graveyard in the 1930's by the city. “It was inconceivable that you would make a playground out of a cemetery,” says activist Mandingo Tshaka of Bayside. “I’ve never heard of such a thing.” Beneath the asphalt is the burial place of mostly African and Native Americans buried in a potter's field from the 19th century. Now, a 15-year campaign to make the site a memorial park by Tshaka, who has ancestors buried in the field, is becoming a reality. “We're going to have lots of planting, benches, pathways, a new playground, [and] I think it’s going to be a wonderful amenity for the neighborhood," says Angelyn Chandler of the Parks Department. The 3.5-acre site will be surrounded by iron fencing, and there will also be a memorial to those buried there. Getting to this point wasn't easy because some residents weren't happy about losing a playground.

  • New York's Hempstead Harbor, Section 319 Success Story
    Section 319 NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM SUCCESS STORY Multifaceted Program Restores NewShellfish Harvesting inYork Northern Hempstead Harbor Waterbody Improved Elevated fecal coliform (FC) bacteria levels from runoff and other sources caused New York’s northern Hempstead Harbor to exceed the FC water quality standard for shellfish harvesting. As a result, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) added the northern segment of Hempstead Harbor to the state’s 1998 Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters because of pathogens. A multifaceted effort by the DEC, Nassau County and munici- palities adjacent to the harbor reduced FC pollutant sources and led to the restoration of northern Hempstead Harbor. In June 2011, after having been closed for more than 40 years, the northern segment of Hempstead Harbor was reopened for shellfishing. DEC proposes to remove this segment of the harbor from the state’s list of impaired waters in 2012. Problem Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor Photo by Carol DiPaolo, Hempstead Harbor is an estuarine embayment off the Long Island Sound in Nassau County, New York (Figure 1). A shellfish harvest restriction was placed on the harbor in 1966 because of water quality concerns. Data collected in the mid-1990s showed elevated pathogen levels that prevented the harbor from meeting its shellfishing, primary contact recreation and fish consumption uses. As a result, DEC added the northern segment of the harbor (covering 2,520 acres) to the state’s 1998 impaired waters list. Nonpoint sources of pollution including stormwater runoff, boater waste, waterfowl, and failing on-site disposal systems were suspected of being the primary problem, with wastewater discharges also contributing.

It demonstrates that city-building took place through the collective work of regional actors on the urban edge. To explain New York’s dramatic expansion between 1840 and 1940, this project investigates the city-building work of diverse local actors—real estate developers, amusement park entrepreneurs, neighborhood benefactors, and property owners—in conjunction with the work of planners. Its regional perspective looks past political boundaries to reconsider the dynamic and evolving interconnections between city and suburb in the metropolitan region. Beginning in the mid-19th century, annexed territories served as laboratories for comprehensive planning ideas. In districts lacking powerful boosters, however, amusement park entrepreneurs and summer campers turned undeveloped waterfront into a self-built leisure corridor. The systematic decision-making of local actors produced informal development plans. Estate owners disliked the crowds at nearby working-class resorts; whites blocked black access to leisure amenities.
