Eastview, New York

Eastview (or East View) is a business district and former hamlet in Mount Pleasant, Westchester County, New York, United States,[1] located approximately 25 miles north of Midtown Manhattan.

The Hammond House, a National Register of Historic Places-listed farmhouse dating to the 1720s, is located in the district, on New York State Route 100C.

[2] The area became known as Eastview after East View Farm, a 350-acre (140 ha) estate purchased by grocery chain owner James Butler in 1893.

[3] At one point, Eastview was a small hamlet with approximately 15 frame houses, general stores, and candy shops, a community hall, a Methodist church, a one-room schoolhouse, and surrounding farms that supplied dairy products to Tarrytown.

The hamlet was located near the old Tarrytown Lakes Pump house and continued east by the current Park-and-Ride lot.

In July 1930, Rockefeller Jr. donated $115,000 of Eastview land to the Westchester County Park Commission to facilitate construction of the Saw Mill River Parkway.
