It sits on a triangular three-quarter-acre lot.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a significant example of an early New York manor house, with exceptionally intact classical interior detailing and formal arrangement. It is also tied to the Pell family, original holders of much of the region's land, and to Revolutionary-era events, including a local legend involving Col. David Pell and the 1776 British landing at Pell's Point.","narrative":"Pelhamdale is a two-story stone residence at 45 Iden Avenue in Pelham Manor, built about 1750 by Philip Pell II, a member of the family that held much of the surrounding land. Faced in coursed, rock-faced stone with sandstone lintels and sills, it has a formal, symmetrical south front with a balconied porch and fluted Doric columns. Inside, rooms flank a central hall, and the reception hall has a curved wall with niches. Details include mahogany parquet floors, marble mantels and paneled doors. After Col. David Pell died in 1823, James Hay bought the house, named it Pelhamdale, and enlarged and reoriented it around 1830. In 1856 it became a boys' school before returning to residential use. A fire after 1900 led to a new roof. The property is recognized for its classical interior, its link to the Pell family, and its Revolutionary-era associations.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Formal, classical style from the c.1830 renovation, on an earlier manor house","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; listed as altered, on its original site, in good condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:42.154822-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001276.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001276/3e5a81921e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001276/3e5a81921e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"sscheinfe","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pelhamdale_-_The_old_stone_house._Looking_north_from_Iden_Avenue..jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">sscheinfe</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pelhamdale_-_The_old_stone_house._Looking_north_from_Iden_Avenue..jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75323163","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelhamdale","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7161367"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/westchester-county/pelhamdale-82001276/"}
