The original portion dates to about 1734-1754, with a larger addition built before 1830.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the house as one of a few remaining landmarks of the early settlement of Scarsdale and Eastchester. It began as a tenant farmhouse on the Manor of Scarsdale and was occupied almost continuously by two families from 1754. With the adjacent Hyatt Field park, it is among the few elements that attest to Scarsdale's agrarian past.","narrative":"This small farmhouse at 937 White Plains Post Road in Scarsdale began as a tenant dwelling on the Manor of Scarsdale, probably built between 1734 and 1754. It is a clapboard building with a central chimney, first one story and raised to two around 1836. A larger two-and-a-half-story addition, believed to predate 1830, joins it at a right angle and faces the old Post Road. Mikiah Cudner bought the house and thirty acres in 1757, and the Cudner family kept it until 1836, when Caleb Hyatt purchased it with sixty-two acres. In the 1890s a land company bought the farmland, laid out streets and house lots, and resold the homestead to the Hyatts, who stayed until 1972. A small frame outbuilding nearby may be the shoe shop mentioned in 1836. The house is valued as one of few reminders of Scarsdale's early settlement and farming heritage amid dense suburban development.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in fair condition, on its original site, and used as a private residence.
