The history assembled here draws on three separate historic-district applications concerning Park Hill in Yonkers. Park Hill (1984) and Park Hill (2002) both present the broader neighborhood under the historic name Park Hill Historic District, though they do so through different application forms and with different kinds of supporting material. Park Hill West (c. 2006) focuses more narrowly on Park Hill West Historic District, treating it as a distinct district area within the larger Park Hill neighborhood.
Together, the three applications offer related but not identical views of the neighborhood. They share a preservation-application framework, but they reflect different district names, different scopes, different source structures, and different moments in the preservation history of the area. This combined master preserves those distinctions while bringing overlapping historical and property information into one place.

rather than a single landmarked property. In Park Hill
(1984), the location is given as "see description," with
Yonkers, Westchester County, New York identified on the form;
classification is district, and ownership is identified as
public, private, and both, with multiple ownership referred to a
continuation sheet. In Park Hill (2002), the location
is given as "Various," with the address, block, and lot information
referred to continuation pages; classification is District,
and ownership is likewise identified as Various. In
Park Hill West (c. 2006), the location is also given as
"Various," again with the expectation that the details appear on
continuation sheets. Its classification is likewise
district, and ownership is again treated as multiple owners
rather than a single party.
The 1984 front matter identifies the property as the Park Hill Historic District in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. It classifies the resource as a district, lists the status as occupied, and gives the present use as private residence. The owner field is summarized as multiple ownership, with further owner information referred to a continuation sheet. The legal-description location is the Westchester County Land Records Office at 148 Martine Avenue, White Plains, New York. Existing survey references include the Statewide Inventory of Historic Resources and the Yonkers Historic Resources Survey, with survey records deposited at the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation in Albany.
The Park Hill West application follows its opening form with an extended property-owners table listing block, lot, property address, and owner information for the district. That material is important as a record of district composition, but it is essentially tabular reference data rather than narrative history. It can be used later for cross-checking addresses and parcel information, but it does not need to shape the prose account of the district.
The three applications diverge in their treatment of threats. In Park Hill (1984), the repeated property inventory forms generally identify threats at the building level as zoning and deterioration. In Park Hill (2002), the status section frames the district as vulnerable, listing potential inappropriate development, deterioration, demolition, and loss of architectural integrity as risks to the neighborhood. In Park Hill West (c. 2006), the application form indicates that no threats are known.
Park Hill is an oasis among a vast urban area. It is quite possible to forget that you are in the 4th largest city in New York State and only several miles from Manhattan. It is truly amazing this neighborhood has virtually survived intact for the past 100+ years.
This, however, does not diminish the fact that during this time, without the protection of a landmark status, many Park Hill treasures have been lost to architecturally insensitive developers. 2002 is a pivotal year for our neighborhood and landmark status will ensure Park Hill remains an oasis for the next 100 years.
While there are several styles of homes in our community (Victorian, Arts & Crafts, Colonial, etc.) each style contributes to the character of Park Hill, forming a cohesive neighborhood where the details of each home must be protected from removal and/or destruction. If this does not happen, poorly planned additions, careless aluminum siding projects and homes that fall into significant disrepair will incrementally erode the character of the neighborhood. Individually a missing piece of Gingerbread on a Victorian is not significant. But combine that with another home which does not replace rotting Doric columns and another home that replaces a stained glass window with a clear glass thermal pain and the erosion has begun. Landmark status will help homeowners preserve their homes and find the right alternatives should cost, resources or materials be an issue.
In addition to protecting the architectural integrity of Park Hill, becoming a historic district will ensure oversight of the architectural style of homes constructed on individual building lots. Equally important is the protection of large parcels of residential properties in Park Hill (e.g. Father Divine property, World Book House, the Park Hill Racquet Club, etc.). Developers who seek to build multiple family dwellings, single family residences and potentially commercial facilities (e.g. Park Hill Racquet Club) eye these properties. Historic preservation while not preventing zoning variances would make the decision to change a zoning ordinance more difficult. Preservation would ensure developers of building lots pay attention to the architectural styles of the homes surrounding the lots and build new homes accordingly. While many residents believe there are enough homes in Park Hill, as a community we recognize the rights of homebuilders. We seek, through historic districting, to maintain the architectural integrity and cohesive nature of all homes in Park Hill.

The proposed Park Hill Historic District in Yonkers, New York is a cohesive residential area and an excellent example of a late nineteenth-early twentieth century planned suburban community. Located on a wooded plateau 300 feet above sea level, it commands views of the Hudson River and neighboring Palisades as well as most of southwestern Yonkers. The district's limits are delineated by changes in terrain and the distinctly different character of later residential construction: to the west by the steep escarpment that runs along Alta Avenue and Overcliff Street and separates the community from the commercial sector of South Broadway; to the north by mid-twentieth century residential dwellings and topographical changes; to the east by the steep decline of the hill into the Saw Mill River valley; and to the south by the contour of the plateau and predominately commercial aspects of McLean Avenue.
Within the boundaries of the nominated district are structures, most of which are visible from public thoroughfares. The majority were constructed by the American Real Estate Company, the developer of the Park Hill community, and are identified as architecturally and historically significant in the evolution of southwestern Yonkers and the city's cultural history. Developed as a luxurious railroad suburb of New York City, the community attracted prominent residents associated with Yonkers and the greater metropolitan area. Built on narrow lots along winding roads characteristic of the period's suburban developments, the houses achieve a feeling of seclusion and privacy through their landscaping and siting. While a few dwellings have been altered and modern residential structures of little architectural significance have been interwoven throughout the district, the street layout and predominance of older structures allow the natural aesthetic qualities for which the community achieved its fame to dominate the neighborhood's overall character.
The Park Hill Historic District was completely surveyed by the Yonkers Planning Bureau during the summer of 1980 under a grant from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. The 1984 building descriptions are keyed by block and lot numbers to the nomination's general plot plan.
Drawn from Park Hill (2002).
The Park Hill Historic District is a cohesive residential district that extends over all or part of more than forty blocks in the southern part of the city of Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. The district is located between South Broadway, just to the west, and the Saw Mill River Parkway, just to the east. To the south are ball grounds and residential areas that differ from the character of the historic district. To the north are residential buildings that differ from the character of the historic district, as well as a modern school. The district encompasses an area that is entirely residential. Historically and currently, the district is composed entirely of single-family homes, with the exception of a school building that is being converted into housing, two former elevator buildings that have been converted into residences, and a non-contributing clubhouse. All of the houses are freestanding dwellings, with the exception of one pair that are attached. The district contains 363 contributing houses, 60 non-contributing houses, 126 garages, 17 discernable unimproved lots plus approximately 80 side lots and lawns, and 1 public park. Despite the intrusion of a number of post-World War II, non-conforming dwellings along some of the streets, and inappropriate alterations to some of the historic houses, Park Hill retains the scale and ambiance of the original developments.
The area encompassed by the Park Hill Historic District includes houses in several late nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century real estate subdivisions that, today, are known collectively as Park Hill. These subdivisions include the original Park Hill development, Park Hill South, and Lowerre Summit Park, as well as adjoining compatible buildings. Park Hill, Park Hill South, and Lowerre Summit Park were all developed in the late nineteenth century and early decades of the twentieth century. Each was a related speculative real estate development of similarly styled, freestanding homes that were marketed to. middle- and upper-middle-class households. There are no barriers between these developments - no gates, gateposts or other markers - and they have been considered a single interrelated unit since their initial development. This is evident, historically, in the fact that residents of all three developments were welcome as members of the Park Hill Country Club. Thus, it is historically and architecturally appropriate that they be included in a single historic district.
The Park Hill Historic District is a significant example of an early suburban development in the New York City area, with houses erected largely between the 1890s and 1920s. As such, the district is extraordinarily cohesive. It is comprised almost entirely of freestanding houses of between two and three stories, with the majority 2 '4-stories with a raised basement. A consistent use of design elements appears of the houses throughout the district adding to the unified design quality. Almost every house has a sloping roof and most have porches. Other elements that appear throughout the district's homes are large window openings, multi-paned upper sash, prominent entryways, stone bases, dormers, and tall chimneys.
The materials used exemplify those found on suburban houses erected during the era of primary development. The largest number of homes are faced in wood, with clapboards and shingles being the dominant siding. Wood is also employed for porches, windows, doorway surrounds, doors, and other features. Brick is also employed, with red brick the dominant type, although a few buildings use lighter colored brick. On many of the brick houses, the material is laid in Flemish bond. Stucco is the historic siding material of a smaller number of homes and another small group are faced entirely in stone. The materials are appropriate to the particular style chosen for each house. Thus, wood appears on Shingle style and Colonial Revival homes, brick on Neo-Georgian houses, stucco on Neo-Tudor and Mediterranean homes, and stone on Neo-Medieval houses.

The proposed Park Hill West historic district is located in the southwest quadrant of Yonkers. Sited on a wooded plateau 300 feet above sea level, it commands views of the Hudson River and neighboring Palisades as well as most of southwestern Yonkers. The district's boundaries are delineated by changes in terrain, the distinctly different character and history of surrounding neighborhoods, and man-made boundaries. Within the boundaries of the nominated district are located 129 man-made resources, most of which are visible from public thoroughfares.
The majority of the resources located in the Park Hill West district were constructed by the Parkhill Association and later its successor organization, the American Real Estate Company. Most of the frame and masonry two and one-half story dwellings in the district were constructed between 1892 and 1930 as single-family residences and are rather substantial houses. Generally most of the residences are set on narrow, rectangular lots with street frontages averaging 75 feet and depths of 115 feet. A few of the primary properties combine two or three lots. Residences are generally set back approximately 25 to 50 feet from the front lot line. Most of the secondary structures are small, one-story, utilitarian garages built in the years following the First World War.
The primary thoroughfare leading to the district is Park Hill Avenue, a secondary north-south street that provides access to the neighborhood from both downtown and southern Yonkers. A number of smaller, winding roads which make up the district branch off west of Park Hill Avenue. These roads were platted to take advantage of the relatively rough terrain of the area. Access to South Broadway, a major north-south thoroughfare, is gained from Undercliff Street. Van Cortlandt Park Avenue, another secondary north-south street, also provides the neighborhood access with surrounding areas.
The district is unified by the similar size, massing, and scale of the majority of its buildings as well as their regular siting along the street. Despite alterations to some of the buildings, an overwhelming majority have been well preserved and the district maintains its distinctive ambiance, including some original bluestone sidewalk paving and a street sign, as well as the high quality of workmanship and design characteristic of suburban areas developed during the period for the upper middle-class.
Drawn from the architectural and style-guide material in Park Hill (2002).
The period when most houses were erected in Park Hill was one of tremendous stylistic eclecticism, with motifs borrowed from many historic styles. Some houses were designed in a manner that clearly derives from a particular historic style, adapting both the massing and the detail of these earlier buildings. However, most buildings in the Park Hill area use historic features in a far looser manner, adapting these historic architectural motifs or combining motifs from various styles to create dynamic new designs. Thus, it is sometimes difficult to definitively assign a style name and to answer the question "What style is this house?”
A number of the earliest houses in the Park Hill Historic District were designed in the Queen Anne. This style has its roots in the English architecture of the 1860s, when architect Richard Norman Shaw rejected the repetitive nature of Renaissance-inspired design and the light-colored stone or stucco facades then found on most buildings. Instead, Shaw and his followers designed asymmetrical buildings with projecting and receding facade planes, eccentric roofline silhouettes, and dynamic textured facades of brick, stone, and terra cotta. This style began to become popular in America in the 1880s. While it was frequently used on urban homes of masonry construction, it gained widespread popularity on suburban dwellings, often exhibiting an asymmetrically-placed tower, steep sloping roofs, front porches (often asymmetrical or curved), projecting bays and oriels, complex patterns or small square panes in the upper sash of double-hung windows, tall chimneys, and recessed loggias. Facades were often clad in a mix of clapboards, square-cut shingles, and novelty shingles. By the time that development began in Park Hill, the popularity of the Queen Anne was waning and few pure examples of the style were erected here. Rather, features of the style, notably the corner tower, are frequently found on Shingle style and Colonial Revival style homes.
The Shingle Style was popular for the design of early buildings in the historic district. The style developed in America in the 1880s and 1890s as an outgrowth of the Queen Anne style and a new interest in American Colonial design. Architects who first began using the Shingle Style, with its large expanses of shingles on facade elevations and roof slopes, were among the first to examine seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century American Colonial buildings and they adapted motifs from these structures to their late-nineteenth-century residential designs. At its most sophisticated, Shingle Style homes are volumetric masses, with sloping roofs, with the entire structure clad in natural shingles. At Park Hill, Shingle Style houses often have a Queen Anne or Colonial Revival components, as well as rock-faced stone bases, derived from the Romanesque Revival designs popularized by Henry Hudson Richardson. The rock-faced stone bases frequently extend into the first story. Square-cut shingles cover the rest of the exterior, The houses often employ asymmetrical towers, front porches, complex roof slopes, windows in various shapes (including eyebrows) and a use of bays and oriels. Subtle Colonial-inspired ornament may be incorporated. on the facades.
The largest number of homes in the historic district employ some form of American colonial massing and detail. Interest in America's colonial and early federal heritage was sparked by the centennial celebration in 1876, but colonial motifs did not begin to appear in architecture until about a decade later after architects, including Charles McKim and Stanford White, undertook sketching trips through New England and the mid-Atlantic states and began incorporating eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century architectural forms into their new buildings. By the 1890s, and especially in the early decades of the twentieth century, "colonial" architecture became the most popular source for American suburban homes. Houses designed in the Neo-Georgian and Neo-Federal styles tend to be relatively academic examples of the use of Colonial forms; i.e., buildings that are closely modeled after eighteenth-century Georgian and late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century Federal design. These buildings tend to be rectilinear structures with symmetrical massing, a central entrance, columnar porticos or porches (occasionally two-stories high), symmetrically arranged windows with multi-pane sash, and peak or hip roofs with dormer windows. Many of these buildings are faced with brick, often laid in Flemish bond, while others are clad in clapboard; a few are clad in shingle. ‘Wood houses were almost always painted white. Neo-Federal structures tend to employ more elegant, attenuated forms than Neo-Georgian buildings. On many buildings the Federal style fanlit entrance is combined with eighteenth-century Georgian features.
Far more common in Park Hill than the academically-inspired Neo-Georgian and Neo-Federal styles are more generic Colonial Revival homes. In fact, the Colonial Revival was the most popular style for American suburban houses in the early twentieth century. Buildings in this style often freely mix motifs borrowed from mid-eighteenth-century Georgian and late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Federal design, as well as from the Greek Revival architecture of the 1820s and 1830s. Colonial Revival style structures are often asymmetrical and freely employ Colonial motifs including columnar porches; pilasters; multi-pane, double-hung, sash windows; entrances with sidelights and transoms or fanlights; balustrade railings; hip, peak, or gambrel roofs; hip, peak, gambrel, or swan's-neck dormers, etc. The buildings often also have towers (a holdover from the Queen Anne style), as well as rounded and three-sided, angled bays and oriels. The houses are almost always clad in clapboard or shingle or a mix of the two. Occasionally stone or brick is incorporated into the design, and, on rare occasions, brick is the major facade material. Because the style remained popular for so long, different features are apparent over time. For example, houses of the 1920s tend to be smaller and more symmetrical in their massing; few have towers.
In New York and other sections of the country with a strong Dutch heritage, Dutch Colonial Revival style buildings began to appear in the early twentieth century. The defining feature of these structures is a steep gambrel roof, with the slope often beginning above the second story level. The roof slope sweeps outward to form a pent eave (an eave with a ski-jump profile) over the first story, often extending, on the front facade, to form a porch. The roof slopes are often pierced by the projecting second story and they may also support dormers, although dormers were never employed on actual Dutch Colonial structures. Quaint details such as Dutch doors (doors split horizontally in the middle), builtin benches at the entry, and quarter-round windows on the side gables are also sometimes used on these buildings.
Suburban homes designed in styles inspired by old English architecture were second only to American Colonial-inspired designs in popularity in the early years of the twentieth century. The most common English-inspired style employed at Park Hill is the Neo-Tudor. The most prominent feature of this style is the use of stucco and faux half timber, usually limited to the upper story gables. Unlike medieval Tudor buildings, in which the timber was actually structural, the timbers on Neo-Tudor buildings are almost always merely decorative. The materials on the lower stories of Neo-Tudor buildings varied, and includes brick, stone, or wood. In addition to stucco and half timber, Neo-Tudor buildings often have casement windows, with either leaded-glass or steel mullions; porches supported by posts, often with brackets; steep roofs with slate shingles; carved wood bargeboards; and tall chimneys with terra-cotta pots.
Large Neo-Tudor buildings were erected in Park Hill at the turn of the century. By the 1920s, smaller, homier structures were being erected. These smaller Neo-Tudor homes have stucco or brick and stucco facades, asymmetrical massing, entrance doors hung from heavy iron brackets, steel casement windows, and other medieval-inspired details. Many of these homey dwellings lack the medieval-inspired detail that defines the Neo-Tudor, but retain the asymmetrical massing, use of contrasting materials (brick, stucco, stone, and clapboard), use of steel casement windows, and other features inspired by English residential design. These English Cottage style houses are usually small, picturesquely massed structures.
Closely related to the Neo-Tudor style is the Neo-Elizabeth style. This style was relatively rare in suburban houses since it tends to lack the picturesque quality of the Neo-Tudor. Neo-Elizabethan style homes are often massive structures with rough-textured stone siding. While some of the ornament is similar to that on Neo-Tudor homes, Neo-Elizabethan houses often contain classical ornamental details and strapwork decoration.
In the early twentieth century, some architects and clients rejected the use of historical styles, opting instead to erect homes in which the massing and use of materials were paramount and on which there was little applied ornament. These Arts and Crafts houses, inspired by the writings of Gustav Stickley, especially in his Craftsman Magazine, are often low-lying, asymmetrical houses that, if the plot was large enough, sprawl on their sites. The buildings are often faced with contrasting materials, including rock-faced stone, clapboard, and shingles. The shingles are sometimes applied in three-course bands. Windows are generally varied in shape and often include both casement and double hung sash. Multi-pane windows are common, as are windows with complex sash patterns.
The most popular form of Arts and Crafts house in Park Hill is the Arts and Crafts Bungalow. Bungalows were popular during the early decades of the twentieth century because they tend to be relatively small and affordable. Although the bungalow is often associated with the western United States, they were also extremely popular in the east. As Craftsman Magazine noted in its March 1909 issue, "The California bungalow may be and is easily adapted to Eastern climate requirements without losing in the least the peculiar features which make it so attractive and so popular." The most notable feature of the exterior of the bungalow is the steeply sloping roof, generally exhibiting a broad sweep that extends over the front porch; the roof slope is pierced by the second story. The roof frequently has deep eaves supported by brackets. Other common features are wood shingle or clapboard siding contrasting with rock-faced stonework; broad, short windows or bands of windows; doors and windows with their top moldings aligned; battered enframements, multi-pane windows; and heavy porch posts.
American Colonial and English-inspired architecture were not the only historic styles favored for suburban homes. The Mediterranean style held great appeal in the 1910s and 1920s. Houses designed in this style borrow features from both the architecture of southern Europe and, occasionally from the American southwest. Mediterranean houses are generally symmetrical in their massing. They are almost always faced in stucco, have multi-pane windows, and hip or peak roof slopes covered in red Spanish tile.
Closely related to Mediterranean and Arts and Crafts buildings are houses designed in the Mission style. The most prominent feature of Mission style homes is the use of "Mission" gables; that is, gables with multiple curves that rise above the top story of the dwelling and are capped by an arch. Mission style homes almost invariably have stucco siding, as well as heavy, deeply shaded porches with thick piers, and multi-pane windows.
Since Park Hill was developed during a period of widespread architectural eclecticism, houses designed in other styles can be found in small numbers within the district. There is one large house that typifies the Neo-Renaissance style. Neo-Renaissance style houses are almost always symmetrical and often have stucco siding and open terraces. The homes are extensively ornamented with Italian Renaissance-inspired ornament around the entrance, on window spandrels, along the roofline, and elsewhere. Ornamental details can include balustrades, cartouches, lion's heads, griffins, cornucopias, classical moldings, etc.
Medieval and early Renaissance motifs were not the only English forms that were revived in the early twentieth century. In the 1910s and 1920s Neo-Regency homes also appeared. These houses were modeled after the architecture of early nineteenth-century Britain. They are often faced in brick or stucco and have steep roofs with slate shingles. Most prominent, the buildings have porches, porticos, verandas, bays, and/or oriels capped by concave roofs.
French architecture was also a popular source for revival architecture. Although there are few French-inspired buildings in Park Hill, there are several buildings in the French Cottage and French Chateau (or Chateauesque) styles. French Cottages resemble English Cottage design, except that the roof slopes are generally extremely steep and they are usually clad with flat red shingles. These homes also tend to have textured facades, with contrasting stone and brick. French Chateau style homes also often have textured facades and steep roofs. The houses almost always have round corner towers with steep conical roofs and the roof slopes are almost always clad in heavy, rough slate shingles.
It is not only the houses themselves that create the character of the Park Hill Historic District. Many natural features are extant and provide the district with its rustic character, In addition, the designers of these subdivisions carefully planned the lot layouts, road patterns, and other features to complement the natural topography. Among the natural and planned features that contribute to the character of Park Hill are the curving streets, often laid out to preserve the natural contours of the site; the preservation of many boulders and rock outcroppings; the use of natural bluestone sidewalks and bluestone curbs, rather than concrete which had generally supplanted bluestone on urban sidewalks by the late nineteenth century; the extensive employment of rubblestone retaining walls; the use of cast-iron street signs, one of which survives at the northeast corner of Alta Avenue and Rose Lane (cast by Pentreath & Fink of Yonkers), and the preservation and careful planting of trees. Increasing the park-like feel of the district, created by the extensive plantings, is the presence of many landscaped side lots. This is an unusual feature of Park Hill, created because the lots are relatively shallow and homeowners had little open space in their rear yards. Owners who wished to have large gardens or open space generally purchased several lots, placing the house on one lot and creating large side gardens. Although some of these side lots were sold off for development in the post-World War II period, many survive and add a distinct character to the district.

The Park Hill (1984) inventory forms use repeated default values for most individual properties. Unless an individual entry says otherwise, the 1984 forms treat the buildings as private residences in Yonkers, Westchester County, with exteriors visible from the public road and interiors private. They generally identify the builder as the American Real Estate Company, the theme as residential suburbs, and the setting as a less-than-one-acre residential property facing the named street within the Park Hill suburban residential subdivision. The repeated significance statement describes these properties as part of the Park Hill subdivision created by the American Real Estate Company between 1888 and 1930, and characterizes Park Hill as one of the first planned residential suburbs of New York City.
The 1984 forms also repeat a common source base: Frank Sanchis, American Architecture, Westchester County, New York; C. E. Allison, History of Yonkers; Yonkers Board of Trade, Yonkers Illustrated; and plan records of building permits from the Yonkers Building Department.

The following property descriptions are based on the descriptive framework used in Park Hill (2002).
Drawn from Park Hill (2002).
Almost all dates are approximate and are preceded by "c." (circa). Those dates not preceded by "c." have had their date confirmed by a Yonkers building permit.
Buildings dated "before 1893" appear on the 1893 Atlas of City of Yonkers, but not on an 1889 atlas.
Buildings dated "before 1896" appear on the 1896 "Atlas of City of Yonkers," but do not appear on the 1893 map, thus they were erected between 1893 and 1896.
Buildings dated "before 1901" are structures south of the historic boundaries of the Park Hill development that appear on the 1901 "Atlas of Westchester County," but were not on the 1896 "Atlas of the City of Yonkers."
Buildings dated "before 1903" are illustrated in Park Hill: An Idyl of the Hudson, published in 1903, but do not appear on the 1896 map. Thus, they were erected between 1896 and 1903.
Buildings dated "before 1907" appear on the 1907 "Atlas of City of Yonkers," but do not appear on the 1896 map. Buildings that are on the 1907 map and are not illustrated in the 1903 Park Hill: An Idyl of the Hudson were erected between 1896 and 1907 (all houses erected before 1903 may not have been illustrated in the Park Hill publication).
Buildings dated "before 1908" appear on a land plat of Lowerre Summit Park.
Buildings dated "before 1912" appear on the 1912 "Map of Park Hill South in the City of Yonkers" or on the 1912 "Map of Lowerre Summit Park in the City of Yonkers." Those houses in Lowerre Summit Park dated before 1912 were erected between 1908 and 1912.
Buildings dated "before 1913" appear on the 1913 "Map of Park Hill." Thus, these buildings were erected between 1907 and 1913.
Buildings dated "before 1913A," all on the east side of Prospect Drive, appear on the 1913 "Map of Park Hill;" this street does not appear on earlier maps, but some of the houses were undoubtedly built several years before 1913.
Buildings dated "before 1921" appear on a 1921 "Map of Park Hill." Thus, these buildings were erected between 1913 and 1921.

105 Alta Avenue (aka 103 Alta Avenue)
Noteworthy: The Park Hill (1984) original-fourteen list identifies a demolished George J. Ord residence with what appears to be the correct house number but the wrong street. A Yonkers Statesman jury notice lists Ord at 103 Alta Avenue, and another Yonkers Statesman article places his house across the street from the adjacent Brown and Ashmead residences. The 1907 Yonkers atlas shows the Brown residence at 88 Alta Avenue and the Ashmead residence at 94 Alta Avenue directly across from 103 Alta Avenue, whose historic footprint falls mostly within present-day 105 Alta Avenue and partly within 99 Alta Avenue. References: Yonkers Statesman, March 18, 1896, p. 1; Yonkers Statesman, October 6, 1893, p. 3.

The chimney is decorative and of a light colored brick. The front side bay has a three-story tower with porch and multi-sided sloping roof. There are various bay window projections.
Significance: Park Hill (1984), pp. 424-435, cites this as a strong example of the predominant Shingle Style in Park Hill, with massive intersecting gambrel roofs, varied window shapes, and a three-story corner tower that links the building to the rugged terrain.

147 School Street (aka 328 New Main Street; aka 326 New Main Street) Rear of present-day location associated with Havey's Park Hill Stables, later Havey's Livery and Auto Service.
Approximate source pages in Park Hill West (c. 2006): pp. 48-58.
Significance: Park Hill West (c. 2006), pp. 48-58, repeats that Park Hill residents relied on Havey's Park Hill Stable on New Main Street rather than keeping horses and carriages on individual properties.
Approximate source pages in Park Hill (2002): pp. 742-755.
Significance: Park Hill (2002), pp. 742-755, identifies Havey's Park Hill stable on New Main Street as one of the off-site services Park Hill residents used for housing horses and equipage. A February 26, 1900 Yonkers Statesman article identifies the new Park Hill Stables as built for Peter H. Havey at South Broadway and New Main Street. Later newspaper notices from March 16, 1900, and January 5, 1914, place Havey's stable and later livery and auto service at 328 New Main Street, aka 326 New Main Street, at the rear of present-day 147 School Street.

Significance: Park Hill (2002), pp. 742-755, identifies the station at 254-260 South Broadway as the Putnam Railroad Rapid Transit Division stop that made Park Hill's residential development possible.
Approximate source pages in Park Hill (1984): pp. 424-435.
Significance: Park Hill (1984), pp. 424-435, describes the Park Hill railroad station as one of the amenities built by the American Real Estate Company to support the planned residential community.
Approximate source pages in Park Hill West (c. 2006): pp. 48-58.
Significance: Park Hill West (c. 2006), pp. 48-58, also identifies 272 South Broadway as the site of the demolished Park Hill Inn next to the train station.
Approximate source pages in Park Hill (2002): pp. 742-755.
Significance: Park Hill (2002), pp. 742-755, identifies this as the site of the demolished Park Hill Inn, one of the hotels built by the American Real Estate Company to serve the community.
Noteworthy: The 1893 Yonkers atlas map also labels "The Crescent" at this South Broadway parcel, showing the curved drive and Bangs villa group.

Caption: The Bangs Villas forming "The Crescent" Park Hill
Description: The 1892 publication includes an illustrated view captioned The Crescent, here associated with present-day 322 South Broadway.
217 S Waverly St (aka Park Hill Roller Skating Rink; aka Park Hill Casino) Former neighborhood recreation, assembly, and later mixed-use site at Herriot and South Waverly streets.
Noteworthy: The 1899 Illustrated Map labels a rink here, one of only three labeled structures on that map. Newspaper notices from 1892 identify the site at Herriot and South Waverly streets as Harvey's Park Hill Casino, formerly the skating rink, and advertise it for picnics, bicycle tournaments, athletic sports, public meetings, and fairs. In this late-nineteenth-century usage, "casino" means a recreation or social assembly place, not a gambling house. A 1901 sale notice still described the building as a skating rink known as Park Hill Casino; by the 1907 Yonkers atlas, part of the large structure was labeled as a planing mill. A 1921 sale notice again used the older rink and casino description, suggesting that the earlier recreation-site name remained attached to the property even after its use had changed.

Approximate source pages in Park Hill West (c. 2006): pp. 48-58.
Significance: The Park Hill West (c. 2006) application does not identify the rink directly, but it repeats the country-club and planned-community amenities context. The rink and casino belong to that same broader pattern of social and recreational infrastructure around Park Hill.
Approximate source pages in Park Hill (2002): p. 11 and pp. 742-755.
Significance: The Park Hill (2002) application does not identify the rink directly, but it discusses the country club, community life, other activities, and key amenities as part of the neighborhood's planned-community character. The rink and casino are a separate map- and newspaper-documented example of that kind of recreation-adjacent community life.
Approximate source pages in Park Hill (1984): pp. 424-435.
Significance: The Park Hill (1984) application does not identify the rink directly, but it describes Park Hill as a community with a country club and "many other associations for entertainment and improvement." The map- and newspaper-documented rink and casino fit within that broader recreational and social setting.

Area of Significance: Suburban growth Architecture Prominent people (see text)
Period of Significance: Late nineteenth century and early twentieth century
The Park Hill Historic District is significant as a relatively intact and cohesive area that embodies the distinctive characteristics of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century planned suburban communities. The Park Hill Historic District is also significant as an illustration of the historic growth and development of the city of Yonkers. Yonkers underwent extensive suburbanization during the period of significance and the historic district is one of the outstanding example of this suburban development. The district boasts a fabric of fine residences the dates of which span approximately a forty year period, from the early 1890s through the 1930s, and which reflect the prevailing architectural preferences of the period in which they were built. Within the district are architecturally distinguished examples of houses designed in the Shingle, Colonial Revival, Mission, Arts and Crafts Bungalow, Neo-Tudor, and other styles. As was typical of the eclecticism of the era, houses of different styles were frequently built on adjoining lots. These dwellings are situated on streets that were plotted to take advantage of the area's natural topographic features. Thus, the streets within the district curve along ridges, houses are often built atop bluffs, and there are many surviving rock outcroppings. In addition, a number of the houses are associated with the lives of prominent persons who made significant contributions to Yonkers, to the New York Metropolitan area, and to the United States. The residential Park Hill Historic District possesses integrity of location, design, setting, workmanship, and association, and attests to the prominence of Yonkers as one of the earliest upper-middle-class suburban developments located north of New York City in Westchester County.
The land within the Park Hill Historic District was part of the original colonial era Philipse patent. The rugged terrain precluded the conversion of the land into farm fields and it remained an undeveloped wooded plateau well into the late nineteenth century. Although the area was divided into large and smaller tracts by 1876, the problematic terrain, and the relative distance of the area from transit links in the center of Yonkers, made it a difficult area to exploit for real estate speculation until the final decade of the nineteenth century. The organization of the Putnam Railroad in 1880, with its Rapid Transit Division running from New York City to Getty Square, via the southwestern portion of Yonkers, with a station at 254-260 South Broadway (demolished), made possible Park Hill's development into a residential community. By 1881, Park Hill Avenue had been laid out and land along the avenue had been subdivided into a series of modestly sized lots, many owned by members of the Herriot family. Despite the presence of the street and the multiple land owners along Park Hill Avenue, no building had yet occurred in what would soon become Park Hill."
In 1888 the Parkhill Association (later the American Real Estate Company) was established and a year later the Statesman noted:
The Parkhill Association...is an association of gentlemen who have purchased twelve acres of property surrounding and including Getty's Pond, east of Parkhill Avenue, to be transformed into a villa park. A.S. Brownell,...is the president of this enterprise, and gives much personal attention to it.
The property has been thoroughly surveyed and mapped, and it is probable that in the near future the available sites in the beautiful locality, with its picturesque rocky eminences, its graceful grassy knolls, its varied and handsome trees, will be ornamented by pretty cottages and occupied by happy families.
A few other houses will be built by the Association, to be disposed of to purchasers. Other plots will be held for later improvement. The pond has been drained, and will be cleaned out carefully so that it will be an unobjectionable ornament to the park.
The property is only 200 yards east from the Parkhill Station of the rapid Transit Railroad. A new station building, it is expected, will soon be built about 300 yards north of the present temporary structure. Undercliff Street will eventually be cut through to Parkhill Avenue; and as it will be directly opposite the Parkhill Association's property, and lead directly to the railroad station, will be of great advantage to the prospective dwellers in the new park.Shortly after its incorporation, the Parkhill Association became part of the American Real Estate Company. The Company had, according to a local source:
conceived the thought of creating somewhere in the vicinity of Manhattan Island, on its direct line of communication, an ideal community, in which every modern improvement would supplement noble natural scenery. For this purpose, after examining the entire environment of New York, they came to Yonkers and by repeated purchasers acquired Park Hill; and here for ten years, without deviating once from the original plan and purpose, they have created a Park of homes second to nothing of its kind in America.”The American Real Estate Company, established in New York City in 1888, pioneered in the handling of large real estate holdings by means of a stock company. According to A History of Real Estate, Building and Architecture in New York City During the Last Quarter of a Century, published in 1898, the American Real Estate Company was "one of the earliest and oldest companies of its kind, as well as one of the most important." In its discussion of the company, this publication noted that "It owns, among other properties, Park Hill on the Hudson, the most beautiful suburb of New York City. Its success in this investment has been phenomenal." In order to develop Park Hill, the American Real Estate Company issued debenture bonds, offering six percent interest to the holders; this provided the financial backing for the enterprise.“
Once the American Real Estate Company had begun planning the Park Hill development, it undertook a massive advertising campaign in order to attract potential home owners. The real estate company issued illustrated prospectuses and advertised in New York City newspapers. One prospectus referred to "PARK HILL ON-THE-HUDSON. 'The Suburb Beautiful,'" while another was entitled Park Hill: An Idyl of the Hudson.“" In the prospectuses and advertising, Park Hill was touted for its superb building lots available only to owners; excellent transportation connections to New York City; modern infrastructure, including sewers, gas, and electric lines; convenience to churches, schools, markets, and other necessary amenities; combination of rural environment and urban convenience, noting that the area had "country surroundings, and country advantages with city accessibility"; magnificent Hudson River views "swept by breezes of the Palisades and the Sound"; and for its "salubrious climate." Indeed, according to one publication of the American Real Estate Company, Park Hill was recommended by "physicians...as one of the most healthful spots in the environment of New York City."
As an inducement to buyers "an open surrey, drawn by a handsome horse, [was provided by the American Real Estate Company] for inspection trips throughout the property."* In his memoirs, George Howe, a local realtor, described the process whereby prospective clients were wooed to purchase in the area.
I would put my customers in the carriage, take up the reins and proceed to drive around the streets, showing the many building sites and houses for sale,...1 would show the customer the lovely homes for sale and call his attention to the exceptional advantages that Park Hill offered, which made it the ideal location for a permanent homeplace.
If after finding a suitable house, the client needed assistance in financing the purchase, the company helped him if he was a good risk. If he could not find any suitable house, I showed him various building sites which I thought might appeal to him and his family. The company employed an architect and a building superintendent who were on hand in a construction office on the property. I would take the client to this office, explain his requirements to the architect who, with the cooperation of the construction superintendent, would give a rough estimate of the cost of the proposed house. Finally, when a rough outline had been agreed upon, the architect, within a few days, provided a drawing of the proposed house on the chosen site, including plans of the layout. If these proved satisfactory, detailed building plans and specifications and a final estimate of the cost were submitted. If the customer were satisfied, as he usually was, the company would prepare a contract through its law office agreeing to build the house and if the customer desired, arrange the financing of its purchase from the company on satisfactory terms.
At the time when all this occurred, there were very few real estate companies which provided such services so reasonably and delivered the final product with such quality and efficiency. Park Hill naturally attracted many buyers.Along with the extensive public relations campaign, a country club featuring reception rooms and bowling alleys, a new railroad station, and an “elevator” connecting the community with the train station were built. While both the original Park Hill Country Club and railroad station building have disappeared, the upper and lower depots constructed in 1893 to service the incline elevator connecting the homes at the top of the hill with the train station below remain, although both have been converted to residential use. Located at 83 Alta Avenue, the upper elevator depot survives as an unusual example of the Shingle Style adapted to non-residential use. Its large shingle-covered conical roof supported by "natural" timber members set in cobblestone piers is connected by a covered bridge to the actual depot. From here, a hydraulic-powered tram carried passengers to the lower depot at 32 Undercliff Street, a Neo-Tudor style structure incorporating half-timbering, bay windows and a prominent stone porte-cochére. The lower depot, badly damaged by a fire, was rebuilt in 1992-93, as an interpretation of the original structure. While the elevator linking the two structures has all but disappeared, the two building remain as tangible links to a time when Park Hill provided luxurious amenities to its residents.
The transformation of the area was phenomenal and prompted an 1898 real estate manual to write:
Park Hill, eight years ago, was a piece of rugged wilderness, overhanging the Hudson, and opposite the centre of the Palisades. No one dreamed of its adaptability for a residence suburb. The American Real Estate Company took hold of it and with landscape gardeners and engineers, and the experienced skill and taste of its own officers turned it into a magnificent residence park and attracted to it some of the most desirable people from the denser residence districts of Manhattan Island.
Park Hill differs from the ordinary real estate enterprise in that it is a community with community interests, growing up with the growth of the neighborhood. It has a country club that is famous throughout upper New York, and many other associations for entertainment and improvement that make life here as desirable as on the borders of Central Park.*#Capitalizing on the community's prominence throughout the metropolitan area, the American Real Estate Company built two hotels to serve the community. The Park Hill Inn (demolished), located at 272 South Broadway next to the train station, and the Hendrick Hudson, a luxurious 230 room hotel designed to “attract the most select class of patrons, thus bringing the unsurpassed natural beauties of Yonkers before those of culture and refinement." Constructed on solid rock on an eminence 380 feet above sea level, the seven-story multi-towered structure resembled the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec and was equipped with the latest comforts available at the time, such as gas and electricity, telephones, tiled bathrooms and a private elevator which had been drilled so that guests might be transported to the Park Hill station of the Putnam Division's rail line located at the foot of the cliff on which the hotel was sited.
Although guaranteed to be "as near fire-proof as money and human foresight can render it" the building was ravaged by fire on the morning of March 31, 1901 shortly before its planned opening. Completely destroyed, the charred remains of the hotel including many stone arches stood for years and became widely known as the Park Hill "Ruins." In 1929, the City of Yonkers acquired the site and in 1946 constructed Leslie Sutherland Memorial Park, incorporating the hotel's original retaining walls and pathways into its design. The old elevator shaft and tunnel were sealed, though not before acquiring the reputation that they had been used by the Bronx beer baron, Arthur "Dutch Schultz" Flegenheimer to store kegs of beer for shipment to "speakeasies" during Prohibition.”
Within a few years the initial twelve acre site purchased by the Parkhill Association was expanded by the American Real Estate Company to 1,200 building lots. In addition, neighboring areas were developed along a similar line. In about 1908, the Lowerre Summit Park Realty Company platted a development south of Wendover Road and east of Park Hill Avenue. Most of this property was part of a large land holding assembled by wealthy New York businessman Leonard W. Jerome (father of Jennie Jerome who married Winston Churchill). In about 1890, the property was transferred to William P. Travers; by 1896 it was owned by newspaper publisher James Gordon Bennett (a major land owners in the New York City area) and others; and by c. 1900 the property was owned by The Valley Farms Company of Yonkers. The subdivision was named for the Lowerre family, which owned property south of Wendover Road between Park Hill Avenue and Birch Road. Like the earlier Park Hill development, Lowerre Summit Park was laid out with winding streets, capitalizing on the area's rugged topography. A portion of the Lowerre property, bordered by Wendover Road, Marshall Road, Park Hill Avenue, and the rear lot lines on the east side of Birch Road, remained undeveloped According to Alexander Stolz, secretary, treasurer, and attorney for the Valley Farms Company:
This was one of the wildest spots in the city, including what was known as the "Washington Rocks" and "Washington Rocks," and "Washington Cave,” and in the rear the "Wild Cat Swamp[.]”... All of the land to the north, south and west of this spot for some distance was acquired from the Valley Farms Company by the American Real Estate Company, George Ord, George H. Lowerre, for development purposes, but no one cared to touch this wild spot, so the Valley Farms Company at great expense and because this particular spot was the gateway to its property to the north, removed the rock and cave, which rock stood 80 feet above the level of Park Hill Avenue. As part of this work the "Wild Cat Swamp" was drained and the low land filled in, Park Hill Avenue in front was improved, and four new Streets, Marshall Road, Wendover Road, Ridge Road and Birch Road, were built.”This area could be conveniently reached from a station on the Putnam Division Railroad.
In 1912, the Queens County Trust Company platted the development known as Park Hill South. This development, only part of which is within the boundaries of the Park Hill Historic District, included properties on the east side of Rumsey Road and north side of Wendover Road, that had already been developed with large homes. All three real estate subdivisions - Park Hill, Park Hill South, and Lowerre Summit Park - were considered part of a single neighborhood, as is evident from the fact that when the Park Hill Residents Association was established in 1912 membership was open to residents of all three areas.“
During the first two decades of the twentieth century the Park Hill area witnessed continued development as a planned residential community, with new houses rising on undeveloped plots through the 1920s. In addition, streets adjoining the planned subdivisions also attracted similar houses, including the wooden homes from the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century on Beech Terrace, Cornell Avenue, Prospect Drive and Park Hill Avenue, to the south of the Park Hill development, and the Neo-Tudor houses, dating from c. 1930, on Bryant Road, to the north, all of which are included in the historic district. As the population of the area grew and the number of children multiplied, the city of Yonkers built the handsome School No. 13 (the Park Hill School), at the corner of Park Hill Avenue and McLean Avenue.
Park Hill attracted affluent business and professional people, as well as successful people in the arts. These families were interested in owning a freestanding home and participating in the community life offered by Park Hill's country club and other activities, such as local equestrian events and polo matches in nearby Van Cortlandt Park, activities that were illustrated in the American Real Estate Company's 1903 prospectus." Many prominent people purchased homes in Park Hill, including: stage actor Richard Bennett, father of film actresses Joan Bennett and Constance Bennett (179 Park Hill Avenue); Irvin S. Cobb, nationally known humorist and writer (27 Edgecliff Terrace); Jack Denny, band leader (24 Lanark Road); Rudolf Eickmeyer, portrait photographer (157 Alta Avenue); Dr. Paluel Flagg, specialist in anesthesia and world authority in "resuscitation" (87 Alta Avenue); Gus Hall, longtime head of the Communist Party USA (230 Van Cortlandt Park Avenue); Hope Hampton, silent-film-era actress (85 Rockland Avenue); Owen Davis, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright (322 Park Hill Avenue); Caspar W. Hodgson, founder of the World Book Company (313 Park Hill Avenue); Henry J. Kaltenbach, vice president of the Fleischmann Yeast Company; Gene Krupa, celebrated band leader (10 Ritchie Drive); Joseph Lapchick, basketball coach and member of Basketball Hall of Fame (3 Wendover Road); Denis F. O'Brien, counsel for Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and Charles Chaplin (125 Alta Avenue); Dr. David Marine, medical researcher associated with thyroid and goiter prevention (41 Marshall Road); Alfred McCann, Sr., food authority and lecturer on WOR radio (66 Hillcrest Avenue); Alfred McCann, Jr. and Dora McCann, WOR radio personalities who broadcast their show from their house (1 Rock Place); Malcolm Wilson, governor of New York State (77 Rockland Avenue). Park Hill remains popular with people in business, the professions, and the arts.
Doubtless, many were attracted to the area not only by the luxurious amenities provided to residents by the American Real Estate Company, but also by the sensitive manner in which the built environment was integrated with the area's natural features. A 1902 guide to Yonkers, sponsored by the local Board of Trade, featured the community as one of Yonkers’ most valued assets and noted that the charm of Park Hill was in a large part derived from the sympathetic relationship established between the houses and their picturesque locale:
In Park Hill, at the southern end of Yonkers, has been worked out successfully the scheme of creating near New York a complete community. Park Hill is undoubtedly one of the finest suburbs of New York city [sic] to-day, and while much of its great beauty is due to nature there is also much due to the skillful and sympathetic treatment which the landscape has received at the hands of its owners.
The roads have all been laid out by a park engineer, and are on park lines. Sewers, water, gas, and electricity have been introduced everywhere; beautiful homes with artistic environment and landscape effects peep out from the green foliage at every turn.
Three hundred feet above the Hudson, opposite the center of the Palisades, overlooking Van Cortlandt Park on the south and the city of Yonkers on the north, within a few minutes of the heart of our city, with all the advantages of a community of fifty thousand people at its doors, Park Hill may still be called a glorious bit of country, unspoiled by city environment; and from its lofty plateau it commands our southern entrance to the great metropolis. The owners of Park Hill are to be congratulated on the great success of their real estate venture, but Yonkers can at the same time felicitate itself that an ordinary suburban invasion has not destroyed the most beautiful natural spot in its beautiful borders.“The designers of the various sections of the Park Hill Historic District laid out irregularly shaped blocks with curving streets, that not only reflect the irregularity of the topography, but also consciously create a contrast with the rectilinear grid of the urban locations that most residents were moving from. In addition, efforts were made to retain natural features. Hills were not leveled; rather, many houses were placed high on bluffs. Other homes were constructed on lots that retained boulders or were placed on lots with mature trees. In addition, many homeowners purchased adjoining lots so that their homes would be placed beside landscaped side lots.
The design and planning of Park Hill are significant as an important example of the nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century development of suburban communities in the vicinity of major American cities. The development of suburban communities reflects the growth of American cities and the desire of many affluent households to separate their place of residence from business districts and from areas inhabited by the poor. As business and industry expanded in cities such as New York, the areas developed for office buildings, lofts, factories, and stores increased, forcing affluent people to move farther and farther from the city's historic core. Such movements were augmented by developments in mass transit, as streetcars, elevated railways, subways, and rail lines extended into regions farther and farther away. Thus, in New York City, affluent households increasingly moved north up Manhattan Island, settling in Gramercy Park in the 1840s, Murray Hill in the 1850s, and the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side by the 1880s. By the last years of the nineteenth century and first years of the twentieth century, as service on the rail lines leading north from Grand Central Terminal improved, many of these families moved out of the city altogether.
Not only were affluent households pushed away from the historic urban cores as commerce expanded, but many of these people also sought to escape what they saw as the social problems fostered by the increasingly large poor immigrant communities that were changing the character of American cities in the second half of the nineteenth century. In order to avoid the overcrowding, noise, dirt, and disease associated with urban life, many affluent middle-class families sought to isolate themselves from the city in newly developing suburban communities.
Suburban development began in the New York area as early as the mid 1830s, with the layout of New Brighton on Staten Island** New Brighton was not a financially successful venture and it was not until the 1850s that the first successful suburban developments were planned and executed, including Alexander Jackson Davis's Llewellyn Park in West Orange, New Jersey (1853), just west of New York City. At this time, suburbs were also beginning to develop near other American cities, notably Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia (1854) and Lake Forest near Chicago (1856). In the New York area, these were followed by such significant suburban developments as Garden City on Long Island (1869) and Short Hills in New Jersey (1874). Although middle-class households had been moving to Westchester since the mid nineteenth century, large-scale suburban development in that county did not begin until the 1890s. Park Hill, along with Lawrence Park in Bronxville and Rochelle Park in New Rochelle, were in the forefront of this new development that would eventually transform Westchester from a rural county with a few industrial centers into one of the most important suburban communities in America. Since Yonkers is located immediately north of New York City and, in the late nineteenth century that city still had a tremendous amount of undeveloped land, it became an early center for this new suburban development, as is evident not only at Park Hill, but also at Ludlow Park, Dunwoodie Heights, Cedar Knolls, and other planned subdivisions.
Like other suburban areas built at the time, Park Hill was completely dependent upon public transportation. Residents generally walked to the train station (or to the elevator that transported commuters down the hill to the station) or to streetcar lines. This was especially true as horses and carriages in Park Hill were not kept on individual properties. Instead, residents depended on the services of Havey's Park Hill stable on New Main Street or the Park Hill Riding Club's stable on Hillcrest Avenue for housing their horses and equipage. Even after automobiles began to replace horses and carriages in the early twentieth century, garages were not always built with new houses. Instead, owners kept their cars at commercial garages that were built in the vicinity. Those garages that were built in the early twentieth century are generally small versions of the adjoining house, designed in the same style and faced with the same materials. This is evident at one of the earliest garages in the district, that to the rear of 9 Marshall Road, northwest corner Ridge Road, a Colonial Revival style, rubblestone and shingled structure with a gambrel roof. Early garages that echo the style of houses are also evident at the Arts and Crafts garage adjoining 3 Canyon Circle (c. 1911), the Colonial Revival garage with diamond-pane doors and windows at 10 Hillcrest Avenue (early twentieth century), and the Neo-Georgian style stone garage at 1 Rose Lane (c. 1915). The early garages generally have double doors, each leaf paneled and articulated by multi-pane windows, heavy metal hinges, and a multi-pane window. Despite the elegance of these garages and several others in the district, most garages are simple utilitarian structures, of unknown date.
The idea of the suburb as a retreat from the city also governed the design and iconography of the houses built in areas such as Park Hill. Rejecting the architectural forms and design motifs that characterized the city's built fabric, suburban houses increasingly looked toward the pre-industrial era for their design inspiration. This not only ensured that the suburban community would be visually distinct from the urban area but also reflected the middle-class desire for stability, status, and social legitimacy by adopting "traditional" designs for their houses. Thus, houses were erected in the Shingle Style, with its roots in the weathered shingled surfaces and massive late medieval forms of the seventeenth century houses of New England's coastal towns; various forms of Colonialinspired design, both the Colonial Revival with its relatively free adaptation of eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century architectural motifs, and the more formal Neo-Georgian and Neo-Federal modes, hark back to a romantic view of the "ideal" Anglo-Saxon American home erected in the years before American society was effected by waves of non-Anglo-Saxon immigrants; the Neo-Tudor and Neo-Medieval styles, with their even more specific references to the Anglo-Saxon home; and the Arts and Crafts and related Bungalow styles, which epitomized the comforts of an idealized home life to early-twentieth-century Americans (house styles are discussed in more detail the Description section of this application).
All of the houses erected in Park Hill appear to have been designed by architects. However, building permits filed with the city of Yonkers have been lost, making it difficult to identify the architect of each house. However, by the 1890s, many architects were specializing in the design of suburban homes. Some established offices in suburban communities near New York City, while others had their offices Downtown where they were convenient to potential clients who might drop by during the day to discuss a design project. A few architects who worked in Park Hill have been identified. The two most active were G. Howard Chamberlin and Adolph F. Leicht. These architects were typical of the designers of suburban homes.
G[eorge] Howard Chamberlin was born in England to American parents.* He studied architecture with the prominent late nineteenth-century New York architect R. H. Robertson, as well as in Europe, and, by the 1890s, was a partner in the firm of Delhi & Chamberlin in New York City. By about 1900, Chamberlin had moved to Yonkers where he served as architect for the City Board of Education. Although he worked extensively in Yonkers (Chamberlin designed the Philipsburg Building, 1904, and the Y.M.C.A., 1915, both on Hudson Street, several houses, and Grace Episcopal Church on Greenvale Avenue, c. 1902) he appears to have retained an office in New York City until about 1908. In Park Hill, Chamberlin was responsible for the spectacular Shingle Style "Overcliff," the Edward K. Martin House (1892), built for an early president of the American Real Estate Company, and the magnificent Neo-Tudor style home at 131 Alta Avenue (c. 1911). Less is known about Leicht who opened his office in Manhattan in about 1889 and on his own, or as part of several short-lived partnerships, was active until at least 1913. Leicht was a versatile designer, receiving commissions for houses, churches, office and other types of buildings, which he designed in a variety of styles. In the early 1890s, Leicht was involved with the design of Bronxwood Park, an early suburban subdivision, located in Williamsbridge (then a part of Westchester County). In Park Hill, Leicht was responsible for the picturesque elevator houses, as well as for several individual homes.
Contrary to national trends and a reflection of the relative wealth of many of its residents, most of the new houses erected in Park Hill after 1900 did not witness a substantial reduction in size when rising construction costs and new technologies forced builders to reduce the average square foot area of houses to keep them affordable. Throughout the area, relatively large houses were built into the 1920s. In 1916, the American Real Estate Company was forced into receivership when bond holders requested full redemption on their investments. The company remained in this state until 1930 when a syndicate of Park Hill residents, under the leadership of Arthur D. Furgeson of 244 Park Hill Avenue, purchased the remaining seventy lots and three mortgages. According to an article which appeared in the February 24, 1930 edition of the Yonkers Herald, the syndicate purchased the holdings "in order to assure the preservation of the present high class standards of...[the] community..." These standards have, indeed, been preserved. Today, Park Hill, with its undulating streets, gardens, rock outcroppings, and impressive houses, remains one of the most distinctive suburban communities in the New York City area, and a major residential asset within the city of Yonkers.

Park Hill Historic District Boundary Justification
The Park Hill Historic District physical dimensions and its boundaries were determined by three major factors. Each of these factors are related and combined. They provide a clear direction on how the historic district boundaries were shaped.
The first factor is the consideration of how the neighborhood grew as a suburb of New York City. Park Hill and Park Hill West, which are west of Rumsey Road and were developed by the American Real Estate Company, are typical of planned suburbs of this era and were considered worthy of being within the proposed boundaries. Lowerre Summit, which is east of Rumsey Road and was not developed by the American Real Estate Company but developed concurrently, shares many of the characteristics of the planned development of Park Hill and was considered worthy of being included.
The second factor is the quality of the houses within the district. Park Hill, Park Hill West and Lowerre Summit each have an exceptional collection of largely extant houses dating from the early shingle Queen Anne period of the 1880's on through to the 1930's Tudor Revival houses including the various house styles popular between these periods. The houses of these periods are included within this boundary and helped to define the edges of this district.
The third factor was community support. All of the historic district is considered a subset of the contemporary neighborhood of Park Hill and there was strong community direction to have the historic district boundary reflect this. The historic district configuration and boundary in large part united the contemporary Park Hill neighborhood with what might be considered as the historic district so as to be inclusive of the entire neighborhood.
Each of these factors gave direction on establishing the delineation of the Park Hill Historic District boundaries and allowed for a logical direction on the size of the district and how the boundary edges were identified.

Area of Significance: Community Development; Architecture
Period: 1889-1931
Park Hill West (c. 2006) repeats much of the general Park Hill historical narrative. The following material is retained for its Park Hill West scope, later date, or added architectural detail.
The area encompassed by the proposed Park Hill West Historic District is notable as a relatively intact and cohesive late nineteenth-early twentieth century example of a planned residential community in Yonkers. Developed by the American Real Estate Company as a luxurious suburb of New York City, it boasts a fabric of fine residences the dates of which span a forty year period and which reflect the prevailing architectural preferences of the period in which they were built. Excellent examples of Shingle Style, Colonial Revival, Mission, Craftsman and Medieval Revival style dwellings abound in the area and line streets that were platted to take advantage of the area's natural topographic features. Together these dwellings illustrate changing ideas concerning the form and function of the suburban house as well as the tastes and prosperity of the local citizens. In addition, a number of the resources are associated with the lives of prominent persons who made significant contributions to Yonkers. Home to some of Yonkers most celebrated citizens, Park Hill has played an important role in the turn-of-the-century cultural development of the City as well as in the subsequent development of southwestern Yonkers. Despite the intrusion of modern non-conforming dwellings along some of the streets and inappropriate alterations to some of the historic architectural resources, Park Hill retains the scale and ambiance of the original development. As a residential district that possesses integrity of location, design, setting, workmanship and association, the Park Hill West Historic District attests to the regional prominence that has characterized Yonkers since it was first settled in the seventeenth century.
Like other suburban areas built at the time, Park Hill was completely dependent upon public transportation and its layout reflected this dependence. Lots, while larger than those that could be found in the urban core, were kept relatively small and tended to be deeper than wide as houses had to be within walking distance of the railroad station or trolley lines. This was especially true as horses and carriages in Park Hill were not kept on individual properties. Instead, residents depended on the services of Havey's Park Hill Stable on New Main Street or the Park Hill Riding Club's stable on Hillcrest Avenue for housing their horses and equipage. It was not generally until after the First World War that individual garages began to appear on private properties in the area. With few exceptions (most notably at 34 Hillcrest Avenue, 3 Canyon Circle, and 331 Van Cortlandt Park Avenue), most of these were built as simple utilitarian structures without much thought to their siting or design.
Prior to 1896, the majority of Park Hill's houses were designed in the newly popular Shingle Style. Finding its design motifs in the weathered shingled surfaces and massive late medieval forms of the seventeenth century houses that had survived in New England's coastal towns (which were becoming fashionable summer resorts for the affluent), the style incorporates broad overhanging roofs, stone foundations, and "naturally" textured materials such as shingles and fieldstone. At Park Hill, however, most of the houses, such as the George L. Rose House at 88 Alta Avenue designed by Adolf F. Leicht, retain the asymmetrical massing which distinguishes the preceding Queen Anne style rather than the volumetric handling that is typical of the Shingle style. Vestigial remains of the Queen Anne style are still evident in many of Park Hill's Shingle Style houses' modified towers, oriel and bay windows, continuous wrap-around porches, and over-sized gable roofs.
As one of the first residences built in the Park Hill community, 87 Alta Avenue remains the area's most extraordinary Shingle Style buildings. Constructed in 1892 for Edward K. Martin, an early president of the American Real Estate Company, the six-story house (which incorporates a private chapel with a Tiffany-designed glass altar) has been attributed on stylistic grounds to G. Howard Chamberlin, a local architect who trained in the offices of Robert H. Robertson. Executed in the highly idiosyncratic style associated with Chamberlin and his partner Arne Dehli, the house is unusual in that the generally horizontal emphasis favored by the Shingle Style is not only replaced by a pronounced vertical orientation but its overall feeling is reminiscent of the brooding, expressionistic designs usually associated with Nordic architecture. Its masonry walls pierced by a variety of window shapes, multiple chimneys, overwhelming shingled roofs which at points sweep down three stories, and wide porches are admirably designed to complement the building's cliff-like site.
By the closing years of the nineteenth century, new architectural forms began to supplant the prevailing Shingle Style that characterized the first phase of development in Park Hill. Although Shingle Style houses continued to be built well into the opening years of the twentieth century, increasingly houses were constructed in the variety of different modes that were becoming popular with America's middle and upper class. All of these modes had a common theme: they found their inspiration in earlier architectural forms and expressed the aspirations of America's new middle-class.
The interest in the nation's colonial era, which had tentatively been explored by the Shingle Style, saw a flourishing with the introduction of the Georgian Revival and Colonial Revival styles. Both styles found their roots in America's eighteenth century architectural heritage; the Georgian Revival style, however, tended to be far more faithful to its original design sources. In Park Hill, dwellings such as the 1899 Breuchard House at 117-25 Alta Avenue and the 1914 Portier House at 82 Alta Avenue are the period's interpretations of the great Georgian houses of the pre-Revolutionary era.
The Colonial Revival style, on the other hand, was less concerned with academic correctness. Colonial Revival style dwellings, such as the 1899 Fisher/Father Divine House at 356 Park Hill Avenue, tend to meld eighteenth century Georgian design elements with motifs derived from the nation's post-Revolutionary Federal and Greek Revival periods. Others, such as the 1898 Kaltenbach House at 150 Alta Avenue draw upon a few, well-established icons - Georgian or Federal design elements - to establish a rather generic "colonial" look.
Along with the Georgian and Colonial Revival, styles evoking other earlier architectural periods provided the inspiration for houses in Park Hill. While the Shingle Style was in large part an interpretation of the salt-box architecture of pre-Georgian New England and the Georgian and Colonial Revivals a reinterpretation of the architecture of the nation's pre-Revolutionary and Republican periods, the Medieval Revival sought its precedents in the half-timbered dwellings of the English Tudor and Elizabethan periods. The large house at 131 Alta Avenue, built in 1914, features all the major hallmarks of the style. Steeply pitched slate roofs incorporating projecting half-timbered gables, mullioned windows, and decorative brick work set in diamond-shaped patterns conjured up images, which although having no national precedents in this country, are emblematic of the suburban concept of the established rural home or landed country estate.
Representing a distinct departure from the dominant architectural modes prevailing in the Park Hill community is the Mission Style. Here, instead of evoking an earlier period associated with the development of the East Coast or the landed estates of the English gentry, the Mission Style dwellings, such as 29 Alta Avenue and 265 Park Hill Avenue, emulate the buildings of the Spanish period in America. Often square in plan with red tile hipped roofs and plain stuccoed walls, the houses seem out-of-place in the wooded and rocky terrain of Park Hill. Nevertheless, they reflect, as do their neighbours, the American middle-classes preoccupation with period architectural styles in the design of their suburban homes as most expressive of their search for status, stability, and social legitimacy.
Contrary to national trends and a reflection of the relative wealth of many of its residents, most of the houses in the Park Hill West area did not witness a substantial reduction in size after 1900 when rising construction costs and new technologies forced builders to reduce the average square foot area of houses to keep them affordable. Throughout the area, relatively large houses were built well up until the First World War.
In 1916, the American Real Estate Company was forced into receivership when bond holders requested full redemption on their investments. The company remained in this state until 1920 when a syndicate of Park Hill residents, under the leadership of Arthur D. Furgeson of 244 Park Hill Avenue, purchased the remaining 70 lots and three mortgages. According to an article which appeared in the February 24, 1920 edition of The Yonkers Herald, the syndicate purchased the holdings "in order to assure the preservation of the present high class standards of ... [the] community ..."
As early as 1893 Chamberlin is known to have been associated with Arne Dehli under the firm name of Dehli & Chamberlin. Dehli & Chamberlin designed a number of buildings in Yonkers which reflect a rather personal interpretation of the Shingle Style, among them: "Grey Towers," the William C. Hasting House (397 North Broadway, 1893; demolished); the Charles R. Culver House (15 Lincoln Terrace, 1897), the first Shonnard Place Firehouse (1899; demolished); and Grace Episcopal Chapel (18 Greenvale Avenue, c. 1902). All of these buildings exhibit the same brooding character evident at 87 Alta Avenue. By the first years of the twentieth century, it appears the partnership dissolved, although Chamberlin continued to practice in Yonkers producing less notable buildings.
