Strathmore, New York

[4][5][6] The Metropolitan Museum of Art ultimately developed some of the land as Munsey Park and sold the area south of Northern Boulevard (NY 25A) to the Vanderbilt family, and the land remained in Vanderbilt family ownership for roughly a decade; their mansion, which had previously been owned by Louis Sherry, is now the Strathmore–Vanderbilt Country Club.

[9] The fire severely damaged 15 shops, along with the Levitt & Sons real estate office which was built only 2 years prior.

[18][19][20][21][22] The proposal would have created a four-lane or six-lane bypass of the western half of the Miracle Mile, and would have cost roughly $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 (1956 USD).

[18][23] The impacts which the highway would have had on the community and the surrounding areas caused many Strathmore residents to protest its construction, and ultimately the proposal was scrapped by politicians in Albany.

[18][23] The area which is now North Strathmore was formerly owned by Horatio Gates Onderdonk, who was of the prominent Long Island family of the same name.

[26][27][28][29] The historic Horatio Gates Onderdonk House, which was turned into the neighborhood's centerpiece by Levitt & Sons, underwent an extensive rehabilitation in the 1980s.

[6][24] The southern portions of the hamlet form the Manhasset CDP's long, eastern panhandle, which extends as far east as Searingtown Road (CR 101), at the border with Roslyn Estates.
