Pelham Manor, New York

History

In 1873, the opening of Pelham Manor station on the Harlem River Branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad led to real estate development in the surrounding area, including Chestnut Grove between Boston Post Road and the train station and Manor Circle to the east of the station. After train service to Pelham Manor station was discontinued in 1930, the Cass Gilbert–designed station house was used by the Westchester Model Club until the building was demolished in 1955 to make way for the New England Thruway.

The Bolton Priory, Edgewood House, Manor Club, and Pelhamdale are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
