Work Continues at Site of Demolition of Historic Home on Hampton Road
- Details
- Category: Real Estate
After half of a historic home on Hampton Road in Fox Meadow was torn down a few weeks ago, both the Mayor and the Village Manager vowed to undertake an investigation to find out how and why this happened, and to recommend steps to prevent future demolitions of historic properties.
However despite their avowals, it appears that work is still going on at 41 Hampton Road. We passed the site several times in the past few weeks and tractors and back hoes are being used to dig the foundation of the proposed 9,500 square foot house.
As far as we can tell, there has been no stop work order issued and the developer has applied to the Committee for Historic Preservation to demolish the remaining portion of the house which appears to have been severely damaged during the demolition process. The application is on the CHP agenda for their meeting on November 30, 2021.
So despite assurances from the Mayor and Village Manager, as far as we can tell, there have been no consequences for the developer for making a travesty of the Village’s preservation laws.
Any thoughts? Please comment below.

Historic "Stanford White" Home Sells for $5.750 mm
- Details
- Category: Real Estate
A home, believed to be designed by Stanford White, sold for $5.750 million this week. We visited the home in 2011 when it was also on the market and noted on its 32-foot living room, seven bedrooms, 11 ½ foot ceilings on the first floor and 10 ½ foot ceilings throughout the house. We were told that the current owners had purchased 10 Rochambeau from a family who had moved to town from South Africa and raised a family of nine boys in the house … the last two were twins!
Was the house really designed by Stanford White? It’s hard to say.
The architectural features of the house and the dates of White’s life neither confirm or rule out the possibility that he designed it. Typical of his work, the house features grand columns, porticos, symmetry and balance. There are three large pillared porches, wood wainscoting that extends up the grand stairway, plaster-relief rosettes, pocket doors and leaded glass windows. The former owner reported that the foyer originally housed two small phone booths and that a fireplace was uncovered when they renovated the kitchen.
In 2011 we visited Village Hall where former Village Planner Elizabeth Marrinan pulled up the microfiche where old house plans are stored. Unfortunately though the house was built in 1907, the first plans on record at the Village pertain to a renovation that was made to the house in 1937. So without the original plans, it is difficult to confirm the provenance of the design.
As for the timeline, the famous story of White’s murder dates his death to June 25, 1906. White was involved with model and chorus girl Evelyn Nesbit and her husband Harry Kendall Thaw shot Stanford White at a performance at the Madison Square Garden roof theatre in a fit of jealousy. Whether or not the plans for the home, built in 1907, were drafted by him before his death is anyone’s guess.
Since 2011 it appears that the home has undergone extensive renovations and updating and now includes a 44 foot pool and cabana with outdoor kitchen, new windows, Waterworks bathrooms, marble and limestone kitchen counters and top line appliances.
This week it sold for more than double 2011 sale price of $2.5 million for $5.750 million.
