They have been cutting and stacking the willows and alders on the East side of Land’s End Rd.

KAREN DIEPENBROCK 4CALLING ALL CAMEL JOCKEYS You may have heard about the Glenbrook Camel Treks – they took place for over a decade and were organized by Glenbrook Residents. Basically it was a caravan of cars heading out on historic adventures for the day to places near and far. Those units were identified by Mills Roofing and Beam Consulting as having the most vulnerable shingles and treatment was accomplished last fall prior to the onset of winter. An inspection will be made in the Spring to ascertain results and the Board will consider applying ROOF MAXX to the remaining units along with timing. The obvious objective is to maximize shingle life while maintaining the integrity of the roofs while concurrently building reserves to cover the costs of re-roofing in the projected 2030 - 2035 time frame. Actual reserve fund levels are derived based analysis by our Reserve Specialist Browning & Co. Maintaining adequate reserves is an important component of the budgeting process and as a result of focusing on the condition of Townhome roofs there have been two annual assessment increases Help the Glenbrook Historical of $400 in FY 2019 and 2020 for Townhomes.

  • Ophir Farm History R5
    Ophir Farm and Manhattanville College Dear Visitor: Dating back to the 17th century, the story of Ophir Farm combines just the right mix of historical truth and local legend, and serves as a worthy heritage for Manhattanville College, now on the same site. This booklet provides a glimpse into the history, landscaping and architecture of both and is designed to supplement your walking tour with a chronological background that will make the buildings and scenery come alive. The Ophir Farm estate was once one of the nation’s most prominent model farms, an art form and hobby pursued by affluent farmers in the 1800's. Today, it includes a rich sampling from artisans who have worked on New York City’s Central Park, the White House, the Capitol, the campuses of Harvard and Columbia, St. Patrick's Cathedral and Lincoln Center. Our guide has been created, in part, to celebrate and preserve these treasures. Gayl Braisted compiled many of the sources in this history for her Masters thesis at Manhattanville. She was extremely generous with her time and allowed portions of her thesis to be printed herein. For more information about how you can help preserve Ophir Farm, please write to me at Manhattanville College, 2900 Purchase Street, Purchase, NY 10577 or call 914-323-5288.
