Heathcote Station Now and Then

Engel and Völkers, had its official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at its new realty office at the Heathcote Five Corners on May 27. Despite some light rain, an estimated 80 people showed up for the bash. Mayor Carolyn Stevens and owner Jonathan Lerner had the honor of cutting the ribbon. “This building is beautiful. Jonathan did a fantastic job in renovating this historic structure. It’s even better than we could have hoped for,” said Mayor Stevens.

Guests were given a tour of the new interior at 300 Heathcote Road, once home to the Scarsdale Ambulance Corps and the J.P. Morgan-built Train Station. The building was originally constructed in 1912 to be the Heathcote Station of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railroads. It later became the headquarters of the Scarsdale Ambulance Corps, before SVAC moved to their newly constructed site on Weaver Street.

Here are photos of the building now and then. Above is the photo from an invitation sent out by Engel and Volkers that shows the building as it appears today. Also see a 2002 photo of the building during its tenure as headquarters of the Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corps as well as a 1912 photo of the building as it originally appeared when it was the Heathcote Train Station.

Engel and Völkers Scarsdale is a locally owned property shop. Jonathan Lerner, a long-time Scarsdale resident, invested two-and-a-half years to complete this location.
