Ever since I got involved with The Music Hall, I have wanted to offer our community a the- ater arts education program. And now, we are about to embark on a new adventure by starting The Music Hall Academy. The guiding motto of The Academy is “Art for Life” and our mission is to provide young people with valuable life skills developed through partici- pation in the theater arts. There will be workshops and events throughout the Spring, then Summer Camps and regular scheduled classes by Fall 2018. We are thrilled to have former Off-Broadway director and local theater educator Peter Royston at the helm for this en- deavor! Stay tuned… As a nonprofit organization, we stand or fall by the support we are able to inspire from our community. Whether you are involved with The Music Hall mostly as a patron, or if you are one of our 200+ amazing volunteers or a Music Hall member, sponsor or donor, or serve on our Board of Directors, you are part of keeping the music playing, THANK YOU! The love for our theater is really an inspiration. We strive every day to be worthy of the trust you place in us. And the decisions we make, we consider how it will benefit the future of our theater and our community. As you might imagine, restoring and caring for a 133-year-old building can be challenging. Rather than focus on the difficulties, I love this quote from a colleague of mine at The League of Historic American Theaters, “We have an historic theater ADVANTAGE!” And this is so true. There is something special about experiencing a show in an old space, saturated with memories of generations of theatergoers and artists. So many treasured theaters were lost in decades past, but show me a community that rallied to save theirs and I will show you a town with thriving stores, restaurants and coffee shops. Few things are better economic engines for a downtown area or a region than an active theater. Supporting your local theater is supporting a wonderful place to live, raise a family and locate your business. But primarily, a theater is a magical machine for larger than life experiences. We know our ancestors had become humans when they started painting on cave walls and made musical instruments. Later we began constructing whole buildings specifically to enjoy art together. It’s a pretty wondrous thing, if you think about it, something that binds all humans together. I hope you thoroughly enjoy the event that brought you here tonight. I look forward to welcoming you back to Tarrytown and The Music Hall again soon! Enjoy the show! Björn Olsson, Executive Director 6 7 Letter From the Board President A Warm Welcome To Music Hall Patrons: Choose 100% I am pleased to introduce myself and to welcome you to The Tarrytown Music Hall.

WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see https://www.wpi.edu/academics/undergraduate/project-based-learning. Abstract This project assessed multiple viable reuse scenarios for the conversion of a historic pump house in Tarrytown, New York by Duncan’s Abbey Brewery. Complementary uses, accessibility, location and other site characteristics were analyzed and prioritized based on practicality. Site access, sustainability, and additional funding were reviewed and explored in order to create a plan for the reuse of the property. The results of this project were presented to Tarrytown community officials. ii Executive Summary The currently dormant Eastview Pumping Station in Tarrytown, NY has a rich history and potentially promising future. This project assessed multiple viable reuse scenarios that are compatible with Duncan’s Abbey’s future brewing space in the Eastview Station, while providing a framework for accessibility, sustainability, and community integration. Efforts were made within the project to provide thoughtful consideration of the historic nature of the site. The sponsor of this IQP is Duncan’s Abbey Brewery. Brewer-owner Justin DiNino has an appreciation for the history of the Eastview Station, as well as the Village of Tarrytown itself.

  • Downtown Revitalization Initiative Application Template Applications
    Downtown Revitalization Initiative Application Template Applications for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative will be received by the Regional Councils. Applicant responses for each section should be as complete and succinct as possible. Applications must be received by the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council by 4:00 PM on June 14, 2017. Submit your application as a Word Document to [email protected]. BASIC INFORMATION Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: Mid-Hudson Municipality Name: Village of Tarrytown Downtown Name: Tarrytown Waterfront and Downtown County: Westchester Vision for Downtown. Provide a brief statement of the municipality’s vision for downtown revitalization. Tarrytown’s downtown is at the cusp of an exciting new expansion. This is especially important related to the impacts anticipated from the projected influx of thousands of tourists into the Village of Tarrytown over the New NYBridge and its Shared Use Path (SUP). The Village’s traditional downtown, along Main Street and Broadway, is a popular, walkable destination with a variety of shops and restaurants and the regionally important Tarrytown Music Hall as its anchor. The Village is working to not only improve the Downtown through planning and investment, it is recognizing its challenges and potential. Recently, through leveraging State and County resources and careful thought and public engagement, the Village has also turned its attention to its train station area and waterfront. This former industrial area has seen recent private and public investment and has the potential to be the home for new mixed-use neighborhoods bringing jobs, housing, recreation and tax revenue that better link the existing downtown to the River, the Village’s transit hub, the region’s pedestrian and bicycle trailway system and unforgettable vistas of the River and the New NYBridge.

The Hudson River Gold Coast was born on the land of Greystone on Hudson and has been the address of choice for America’s most venerable families since the nineteenth century. The string of magnificent private estates stretching from Greystone on Hudson to the Rockefeller compound Kykuit gained the name “Millionaire’s Row” and encompassed many of the most opulent homes of Westchester’s golden age of high society, including Gould’s neighboring Lyndhurst Castle and the surrounding Astor, Morgan, and Lehman manors. The historic Greystone mansion was a regal Italianate stone castle and, for a century, was the family home of several of America’s most prosperous families, including John D. Rockefeller’s business partner and a founder of one of the original twelve Dow Jones Industrial members. Today this revered site, surrounded by the Hudson River and two thousand acres of permanently preserved parkland, has been transformed into Greystone on Hudson.
