Most buildings date from 1896 to 1910, with several moved from the old village.","why_significant":"The district records the resettlement and development of Katonah, where ten buildings were moved from the old village and the rest were built between 1896 and 1910. Its houses are largely intact examples of Queen Anne and Shingle style architecture. The Olmsted-designed street plan with broad intersections, grassy malls and tree-lined streets remains largely unchanged.","narrative":"Katonah Village Historic District covers a cohesive residential area of thirty-eight structures in the village of Katonah, in the town of Bedford, Westchester County. It includes houses along Bedford Road, Valley Edge, Edgemont Road and Parkway, along with three churches, a library and a few combined residential and office buildings. Ten of the buildings, dating from about 1840 to 1885, were moved from the old village of Katonah, and most of them show Queen Anne styling. Nearly all the others were built between 1896 and 1910, many reflecting the Shingle style; seven were built by local carpenter and builder William H. Fowler. The Colonial Revival library, designed by Kerr Rainsford, was completed in 1928, and the stone First Presbyterian Church was designed by George Kramer. The district keeps its Olmsted-designed street plan of broad intersections, grassy malls and tree-lined streets, and it preserves evidence of the hamlet's resettlement and growth despite changes nearby from the I-684 highway.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Kerr Rainsford (Katonah Village Library); George Kramer (First Presbyterian Church); William H.
