“Christ Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at 43 South Broadway (US 9) in Tarrytown, New York. Topped by a modest tower, the ivy-covered red brick church was built in 1837 and maintains an active congregation to the present day. The church also includes the San Marcos Mission, a Spanish-language ministry.

It was recognized as a landmark by the New York Department of Education in 1935. In 1987 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for both its association with early American author Washington Irving, who served as a vestryman, and its distinctive early Gothic Revival architecture. It has undergone several extensive renovations since its construction, and has had two outbuildings added, but maintains its historic character.” (Wikipedia)

You can just make a blue historic marker at the bottom of the picture. It reads: “Christ Church. Erected in 1837. For many years Washington Irving was vestryman and warden. Ivy is from cuttings from vine on his home Sunnyside”

“The First Baptist Church of Tarrytown is located on South Broadway (U.S. Route 9) in Tarrytown, New York, United States. It is a stone building in the Victorian Gothic architectural style dating to the 1870s. In 1983 it and its rectory were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Congregants first met in the 1840s. The first church on the present site was erected in 1847. A quarter-century later Russell Sturgis was commissioned to design the present structure, which took five years to complete, including a detailed Gothic interior. It signaled Tarrytown’s development as a suburb, especially after John D. Rockefeller and members of his family moved to the village and joined the church. They made possible some of its later enhancements, such as its landscaping and rectory, both added later.” (Wikipedia)

This beautifully decorated building stands on the corner of Neperan Road and South Broadway/Route 9/Albany Post Road. An inscription high up on the building reveals it to have once been the Westchester County Savings Bank.

This building is historic, in that it housed one of the oldest financial institutions in the county.

The Westchester County Savings Bank was first organized in 1853, according to the book History of the Tarrytowns and the Tarrytown Centennial Album. The bank, Westchester’s and Tarrytown’s oldest until it merged with another bank in 1971, was first started up in a hat store on Main Street. The operation moved to the corner of Main Street and Neperan Road and occupied a frame house in 1864.

The frame house was then demolished and replaced with a Spanish Renaissance style yellow brick building in 1898. This building closely resembled its current look, which was achieved after an expansion and modernization in 1933.

While Westchester County Savings Bank has since vacated the spot, other banks have taken its place.

…

The building has two floors and a basement. The first floor has your typical bank look, with 4,027 square feet of space. The 4,2027-square-foot basement contains a vault.

Upstairs, where the bank’s original owner had built a luxury apartment, has been converted into an office space.(Patch)
