105 Alta Avenue

Also listed as 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.

The illustrated view shows a large two-story residence with a broad front porch, symmetrical facade, lawn, and young trees.

Noteworthy: The caption identifies Park Hill Avenue, but related newspaper and map evidence places the historic George J. Ord residence at 103 Alta Avenue, with its footprint mostly under present-day 105 Alta Avenue and partly under present-day 99 Alta Avenue.
