Greystone (formerly Harriman)

The building of the Greystone section of Northwest Yonkers (formerly known as Harriman)  by Harriman and Hawley in the late 1890's.

Below is a great article from American Home magazine published in April 1899. We have added a portion of the 1907 Atlas of Yonkers so it would be easy to locate where the initial homes were built.
 
 

Noteworthy is that several of these beautiful homes still exist today in restored condition. They are located on Odell avenue and on Hawley Terrace. A photograph of 30 Hawley Terrace as it appears today exquisitely restored is included below.
