Pound Ridge Historic District
Description
The Pound Ridge Historic District encompasses almost all of the hamlet of Pound Ridge. It is located in far eastern Westchester County, one-and-a-half miles south of the county-owned Ward-Pound Ridge Reservation and two miles north of the Connecticut border. Covering approximately ninety-five acres, the district contains forty-six contributing historic buildings constructed between 1758 and 1950, with the majority dating between 1780 and 1852. Included in the district are a mixture of residences, a former school (currently a library), a former lecture hall (present-day town hall), and a number of churches and church buildings. The Pound Ridge Historic District is significant for the integrity of its overall setting, which has received few insertions of post-nineteenth century structures, as well as for the quantity of surviving architectural resources. The Pound Ridge Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 30, 1985.
