It is now St. Andrew's Episcopal Church and sits on a five-acre property with a carriage house and garage.","why_significant":"The house was the longtime home and base of Evangeline Booth, who led the Salvation Army in the United States from 1904 to 1934 and later served as General of the International Salvation Army. It is nationally significant under Criteria A and B for health/medicine and social history. It is also significant under Criterion C as a good example of Tudor Revival domestic architecture in Westchester County.","narrative":"Set on a five-acre lot in Hartsdale, Westchester County, this Y-shaped, two-and-one-half-story house has a fieldstone first floor, half-timbered stucco upper stories, a red tile roof and octagonal stair towers. A plain house of about 1870 was enlarged and remodeled in the early 1920s into its present Tudor Revival form. Evangeline Booth, who commanded the Salvation Army in the United States from 1904 to 1934 and later served as General of the international organization, lived here from about 1919 until her death in 1950. The house served as her base between long journeys. She left it to the Salvation Army, which sold it in 1951 to St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. The church added a chapel in 1955 that harmonizes with the original design. The interior includes a library open to the roof with carved stone bosses and a large stone fireplace. The property is recognized for Booth's national importance in charity and social work and for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"c. 1919-1955","architect_builder":"Walker, James E.
