  • New Rochelle: Ideally Yours
    New Rochelle: Ideally Yours Build to Specifications, Build with Confidence New Rochelle’s master development framework provides the flexibility to design Plum’s new headquarters to Plum’s exact specifications. Indeed, the City’s development plan places a special emphasis on attracting and constructing innovation space that appeals to the next generation of talent. At the same time, new zoning, a completed environmental review, and land entitlements provide by-right development options, without the uncertainty associated with discretionary political approvals. Don’t Just Join a Community, Shape a Community Compared to other cities under consideration, New Rochelle is smaller and is at an earlier stage in its economic development. For these reasons, Plum has an opportunity in New Rochelle not simply to join a community and blend into a mature, pre-existing physical fabric, but, instead, to shape a community and to become the defining/iconic presence of a new physical fabric. Moreover, as an archetypical “First Suburb,” New Rochelle exemplifies both the challenges and opportunities of a broad class of American communities, many of which experienced economic distress in the second half of the 20th century and are now poised for renewal. By coming to New Rochelle, Plum would demonstrate confidence in the future of such communities. In short, Plum can make a bolder statement in New Rochelle than anywhere else. Unparalleled Transit and Transportation Options New Rochelle’s diverse transit and transportation options make it an ideal location for commuting or reverse commuting, with unparalleled accessibility to talent pools throughout the New York metropolitan area, and with robust alternatives to the automobile, which helps reduce transportation costs.

  • The 2008 Heritage Award Properties
    The 2008 Heritage Award Properties The Israel Seacord House 1337 North Avenue Located on the corner of Quaker Ridge Road and North Avenue, the original section of the house on this site is believed to have been constructed in the 1770s by Israel Seacord, on land deeded to him by his father, James. During the Revolutionary War, Sir Lord William Howe, commander of British forces, made his headquarters in the Seacord farmhouse before marching his troops to the Battle of White Plains, October 1776. Records show that the land remained in the Seacord family until the turn of the 20th century, when it was purchased by Charles and Regina Niehaus. Charles was a nationally recognized sculptor who created many notable sculptures in Washington; Regina became a renowned horticulturist. The farmland was sold off, bit by bit, to the developers of Bonnie Crest neighborhood. The Israel Seacord farmhouse was enlarged over the years; the farm’s cider mill is now the home at 22 Quaker Ridge Road. The contemporary residents of the Israel Seacord House at 1337 North Avenue have made numerous and accurate restorations to the exterior and interior during the three decades of their ownership. The Leonard Seacord House 1075 North Avenue A section of this former farmhouse is believed to have been built in the late 1770s, as the first home of one of the community’s earliest Huguenot settlers, John Renoud. The house and its land later became part of the Seacord family’s extensive holdings in this area of town. Over the years, many additions and changes were made to the original structure, and now represent many different periods of New Rochelle’s past.

  • An Early and Unique American Settlement Ew Rochelle in the 17
    An Early and Unique American Settlement ew Rochelle in the 17 th and 18 th Centuries In the early years of New York, when only a few small hamlets dotted the forests and fields of what is now Westchester County, a small group of French Protestant refugees called “Huguenots”, made their way to a stretch of land that began at the banks of Long Island Sound. Having fled their homeland to realize a life in which they could practice their Protestant religion freely, the dozen or so families, with Jacob Leisler acting as the go-between, purchased 6,000 acres from John Pell, signing the deed in 1689. They named it after the last Huguenot stronghold in France, the Port of La Rochelle. These early settlers chose their new home wisely. The land was fertile and farmable. Its Long Island Sound location provided for abundant fishing, gainful tidal mills and lucrative water- related trade and industry. The new community was connected to northern settlements and to New York by the Boston Post Road—the leading thoroughfare of the Colonies, which traced the ancient pathways of the Siwanoy Indians along the Sound shoreline. It was also only 18 miles to reach the French Church in Manhattan, and about 24 miles to the mercantile hub of New York. Merchants, landowners, tradesmen, farmers… despite their varied backgrounds, the first forty or so families shared a desire to worship freely. They had the joint disadvantage of having little money or material goods. All had been left behind in France during their flights to safety.

    CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.
