Online Zoom Class: The History of Arthur Manor and How It Sparked Scarsdale's Suburban Transformation

April 14, 2020/ Marc Cheshire

Through an investigation of old photographs, maps, articles, and the physical legacy of long-ago events, we will examine the early twentieth century creation and growth of Arthur Manor and Edgewood. You will learn how the Arthur Manor development initiated the transformation of Scarsdale from a rural area of farms and estates to the modern suburban community it is today.
