This interest has spawned a demand for a variety of public access opportunities along the River, including shoreline trails and walkways, scenic viewpoints, swimming and fishing areas, riverside parks and launches for cartopped or trailered boats.

    United States Department of the Interior OMB No. 1024-0018, NPS Form National Park Service Property Name McCready, Robert W. & Mary F., House Location Sloatsburg, Rockland County, New York NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section Number 8 Page 1 8. Narrative Statement of Significance Overview The Robert W. and Mary F. McCready house enjoys tangible historic associations with the life of Robert Workman McCready (1862-1949), an Irish-born builder who rose to prominence in the greater Sloatsburg area, particularly in association with the construction of major architectural commissions executed by his company in Tuxedo Park. Trained initially in his trade in Belfast, under the employ of the shipbuilding firm of Harland & Wolff, McCready came to America and in the ensuing years worked for the well-known construction firm of Mead & Taft. In 1889 he formed a professional partnership with his brother-in-law William Finch, general contractors under the name of McCready & Finch, before assuming sole ownership of the company in 1904. During its time the company was responsible for executing important domestic commissions in Tuxedo Park, New York, where major works of residential architecture were being built to the plans of some of the nation’s leading architectural offices, and at the height of its prominence employed upwards of 600 employees. McCready retired from business in the 1920s, and lived in the nominated house, built c. 1889 as a wedding gift to his spouse Mary Finch McCready, until their deaths in 1949. It is an example of eclectic Late Victorian domestic design, with interior and exterior work reflecting Eastlake, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival-style influence, though not all representative of a single building campaign.
