Delavan Terrace Historic District
Delavan Terrace Historic District, Historic residential district in Yonkers, United States
The district encompasses ten houses along Delavan Terrace, featuring Late Victorian and early 20th-century revival architectural styles covering 4.2 acres of land.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, this district emerged when industrialists from Otis Elevator Company and Alexander Smith Carpet Mills built residences there.
The neighborhood manifests the architectural preferences of wealthy industrialists who selected this location for its views of the Hudson River in the late 1800s.
The rectangular district stretches along both sides of Delavan Terrace, situated between the Hudson River and Saw Mill River on elevated terrain.
Actress Billie Burke, known for her stage performances, resided in one of the houses during the 1920s after her marriage to producer Florenz Ziegfeld.
