1057 Esplanade: One of the Original Homes Built by the Pelham Manor & Huguenot Heights Association


Portions of the Village of Pelham Manor in the Town of Pelham, New York were developed by a group of men who established an association named the Pelham Manor & Huguenot Heights Association in 1873. Today's Historic Pelham Blog posting presents an image of a home contained in the original prospectus published by the Association in 1874 juxtaposed with a recent photograph of the same home that still stands at 1057 Esplanade in the Village of Pelham Manor. For those who wish to learn a little more about the Pelham Manor & Huguenot Heights Association, see:

In 1874, the Pelham Manor & Huguenot Heights Association printed a "prospectus" for prospective investors and possible home buyers. One of the model homes shown in the prospectus was the "Esplanade Villa".

The home that stands at 1057 Esplanade in the Village of Pelham Manor is one of the original homes built by the Pelham Manor & Huguenot Heights Association and is the "Esplanade Villa" shown in the image from the Association's prospectus. Below is an image that shows the engraving contained in the prospectus on top with a recent photograph of the home beneath.
