  • Of Irvington, New York, 1849,1860 by Rohit T
    The Hudson River Railroad and the Development of Irvington, New York, 1849,1860 By Rohit T. Aggarwala Introduction Close by Sunnyside is one of those marvelous villages with which America abounds: it has sprung up like a mushroom, and bears the name Irvington, in compliment to the late master of Sunnyside. A dozen years ago, not a solitary house was there .... Piermont, directly oppos ite, was then the sole terminus of the great New York and Erie Railway, and here seemed to be an eligible place for a village, as the Hudson River Railway was then almost completed. Mr. Dearman had one surveyed upon his lands; streets were marked out, village lots were measured and defined; sales at enormous prices, which enriched the owner, were made, and now upon that farm, in pleas­ ant cottages, surrounded by neat gard ens, several hundred inhabi­ tants are dwelling .... Morning and evening, when the trains depart for and arrive from New York, many handsome vehicles can be seen there. This all seems like the work of magic. O ver this beautiful slope, where so few years ago the voyager upon the Hudson saw only woodlands and cultivated fields, is now a populous town. The own­ ers are chiefl y business in [sic] of N ew York, whose counting rooms and parlours are within less than an hour of each other. - Benson J. Lossing, The Hudson, 18661 Tht Hudson River Rail road and the Development of Irvington, New York, 1849- 1860 51 Irvington, New York, was created by the coming of the Hudson River Railroad.

  • FORMER 50Th PRECINCT POLICE STATION HOUSE, (Originally the 40Th Precinct Police Station House), 3101 Kingsbridge Terrace, Borough of the Bronx
    Landmarks Preservation Commission July 15, 1986; Designation List 185 LP-1285 FORMER 50th PRECINCT POLICE STATION HOUSE, (originally the 40th Precinct Police Station House), 3101 Kingsbridge Terrace, Borough of the Bronx. Built 1901-1902; architects Arthur J. Horgan and Vincent J. Slattery. Landmark Site: Borough of the Bronx Tax Map Block 3257, Lot 111. On April 13, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the former 50th Precinct Police Station House, and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 9). The hearing was continued to June 8, 1982 (Item No. 10). Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. No witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. Letters have been received in favor of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Designed in 1900, and built from 1901 to 1902 by the New York architects Arthur J. Horgan and Vincent J. Slattery, the former 50th Precinct Police Station House is prominently sited at the intersection of Kingsbridge Terrace and Summit Place. Its style, scale, materials of construction, direct relation to the street, and ornament contribute to the monumental character, which distinguished the building from the surrounding b-Kl- and three-story frame structures of rapidly expanding Kingsbridge. A symbol of the authority of the police force and of the presence of municipal government in early 20th century Kingsbridge, and an exemplar of Beaux-Arts principles of composition, the building should be seen within the context of the City Beautiful Movement.1 Historical interest in the building further derives from its being among the best surviving works of an architectural firm that was very much in the public eye at the tum-of-the­ century.
