1. Cudner-Hyatt House
Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing
Cudner-Hyatt House is a historic 19th-century home that was built before the American Revolution and is a prime example of the earliest pre-Revolutionary farmhouses. It was saved from demolition in the 1980s which helped form the Scarsdale Historical Society, which curates the historic home to this day.
After being saved from demolition, the house was converted into a museum that showcases not only Scarsdale’s rich history but also a glimpse of how the American colonists once lived before the revolution.
