string(16469) "It isn't often that a farmhouse comes up for sale in the Bronx. This picturesque dwelling offers up three centuries of history and a project for an old-house lover with a bit of vision and plenty of resources.
Known as the Hadley House, the individually designated home on the market at 5221 Post Road near Fieldston now sits in the midst of a residential neighborhood and near the green space of Van Cortlandt Park, but it was once part of a large farm. The oldest portion was built of stone sometime in the 18th century. A wing was added in the early 19th century, and an early 20th century renovation expanded it and gave the house a bit more Colonial-inspired flair thanks to architect Dwight James Baum.
The Hadley moniker comes from William and Elizabeth Hadley, possibly the second owners of the house. William purchased a significant chunk of former Phillipsburg Manor land from one Isaac Green in 1786. It is believed that William and Elizabeth moved into the already existing house on the property. The detailed designation report comes to the conclusion that while the structural and historic evidence confirms an 18th century date for the house, it isn't possible to narrow down that date to either early or late in the century.

That means there isn't quite enough proof to take the "oldest surviving house in the Bronx" credit from the nearby Van Cortlandt House, which dates to 1748 or 1749 but regardless, the modest farmhouse contains a vast amount of social and architectural history.
The Hadley family owned the property from 1786 until 1826. A look at census and probate records for William shows the household included enslaved men and women. The 1800 census records a household of 14 people, including six enslaved. A woman named Hester is mentioned specifically in William's will; he died in 1801. A deep research dive into the early history of the house by the Kingsbridge Historical Society, which included looking at estate inventories, shows Peter, Nickalus, Samuel, and Magdalene were also enslaved and within the household.
The Hadley ownership of the house came to an end after Elizabeth's death in 1826. The house was sold again in 1829 to Major Joseph Delafield. He built his own substantial house elsewhere on the property and left the farmhouse standing. It was largely home to tenant farmers into the early 20th century.
When the transformation of Delafield's property into the planned development of Fieldston began in the early 20th century, the little house was sold to Willett R. Skillman. The news made for an interesting real estate blurb in the New York papers with headlines like "Buys Old Colonial Home" and "Old Farmhouse Sold" and descriptions of "Colonial" details. The articles noted that alterations were being undertaken by architect Baum to make the property "an attractive modern dwelling."
A more extensive article about the sale and condition of the old house appeared in the May 22, 1915 edition of the Real Estate Record and Guide. Details mentioned included 2-foot-thick stone walls, hand-hewn beams and nails, 10-inch-wide floor boards, a Dutch oven, and a large chimney. Baum's planned renovation was again mentioned and described as involving alterations that would "amount practically to reconstruction." The filing for the proposed project showed an estimated cost of $4,000.

Baum, who would go on to design more than 60 houses in Fieldston, did his own bit to promote the project, with articles appearing in magazines like House Beautiful, Architecture, and Touchstone. Using the structure as an example of how to update old dwellings, he documented what exactly the project entailed. The roof on the 19th century frame wing was lowered to match the older stone house and a shed dormer added, a new wing was constructed on the south to include a modern kitchen, and a porch was added to the north end. Columns, deemed "very quaint," were kept and copied as needed. The same went for the two remaining pairs of shutters and strap hinges: They were copied for use on all the windows. Both new siding and the stone were painted with white paint for a uniform look. Baum chose Cabot's Old Virginia White, and an image of the house was used in advertisements for the brand in 1919.
On the interior, the budget did not allow for copying the old floor boards, so new floors were laid. Baum wrote that "as much of the old design and material was saved as was consistent with making the restoration a livable home with modern improvements."
A photograph from 1910 and one published in 1917 showcase the dramatic transformation, transforming the house from a vernacular dwelling showing its age into a spic-and-span Colonial Revival. Not visible in the 1917 photo was the garage Baum described as "an afterthought" but a 20th century convenience.
In 1920 the house was still home to Willett R. and Elsie Skillman and three sons, but they didn't stay long. Willett died in 1931 and Elsie sold the house two years later.

The current owners acquired the property in 1999 and, according to the designation report, testified in favor of the 2000 landmarking. While the exterior is no longer a gleaming white, Baum's design is still evident. The portico is still in place, the shed dormer visible, and shutters grace many of the windows on the front facade.
No interior photographs are included in the listing, which describes the house as a "development and renovation opportunity." It sits on a .35 acre plot of land. Any exterior work or construction on the site would have to be reviewed and approved by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission.
The layout shows a few minor tweaks to the Baum plan. A porch off the kitchen was enclosed to create a mudroom and the butler's pantry divided to create a bathroom and laundry. While no longer labelled as the maid's room, a bedroom above the kitchen survives, along with four other bedrooms in the house.
The Hadley House is listed with Trebach Realty and priced at $2.25 million.
In addition to the Van Cortlandt House, which opened as a museum in 1897, other historic buildings in the area include the Kingsbridge Historical Society's new home. The group acquired Edgehill, a landmarked former church built in the 1880s, and has been raising funds to add heating to the building, make it watertight, and preserve its Tiffany windows. Founded in 1949, the society holds lectures and walking tours, and has a local history collection.

string(6934) "By Ethan Stark-Miller, amNY
New York City’s roughly 1 million rent-stabilized tenants could see their rents hiked by as much as 6.5 percent, according to preliminary ranges approved by the city’s Rent Guidelines Board Tuesday night.
The nine-member panel, made up entirely of Mayor Eric Adams’ appointees, advanced in a 5-2 vote (with two abstentions) on April 30 the preliminary proposal to hike rents 2 percent to 4.5 percent for one-year leases, and 4 percent to 6.5 percent for two-year leases. The proposed increases were similar to ranges that the board's staff presented in a report last month for how much more rental income landlords would need to maintain their rent-stabilized housing stock.
The board will settle on final rent increase amounts during a scheduled June 17 vote — and if Tuesday’s preliminary vote was any indication, the decisive vote could prove quite divisive.
Throughout the April 30 meeting, hosted at LaGuardia Community College in Long Island City in Queens, tenant advocates opposed to any rent increases booed, jeered, and chanted “rent roll back.”
The board’s two tenant representatives gave lengthy remarks, slamming the process as “a sham” and speaking about the potentially devastating impact of further raising rents on low-income tenants before ultimately walking out of the meeting, and abstaining from the vote.
“I’ve decided that the only vote we’ll be making tonight is a vote of no confidence in this mayor and in this board,” said Adán Soltren, one of the tenant advocates, before heading for the door.
‘Far beyond what is reasonable’
Mayor Adams has always insisted that he does not tell board members which way to vote, nor does he claim to try to influence their decisions. But while the board is supposed to operate as an independent body, its members generally reflect the priorities of the mayor who appointed them.
In a Tuesday night statement, Mayor Adams said the upper end of the proposed two-year lease hikes would be untenable for tenants. At the same time, he emphasized the board must also look out for landlords — making sure they have enough income in rent to maintain their properties.
[caption id="attachment_458253" align="alignnone" width="2200"] Bed Stuy. Photo by Susan De Vries[/caption]
“Our team is taking a close look at the preliminary ranges voted on by the Rent Guidelines Board this evening and while the Board has the challenging task of striking a balance between protecting tenants from infeasible rent increases and ensuring property owners can maintain their buildings as costs continue to rise, I must be clear that a 6.5 percent increase goes far beyond what is reasonable to ask tenants to take on at this time,” Adams said. “I know well that small property owners also face growing challenges, and I encourage them to work with the city to utilize our many preservation tools so that, together, we can work to stabilize buildings and neighborhoods, all while keeping tenants in their homes.”
Either way, rents are likely to rise this coming year — and historically, the increases fall somewhere within the preliminary ranges that the board approved.
Fear of ‘devastating consequences’
The panel’s vote sets the stage for the third round of rent increases stabilized tenants will see since Adams took office in 2022. Last year, the board greenlit increases of 3 percent for one-year leases, and divided two-year lease increases into two rounds: 2.75 percent in the first year and 3.2 percent of the increased amount in the second.
Under Adams’ predecessor, Bill de Blasio, the board voted to keep rents frozen for several years.
The Legal Aid Society, in a Tuesday night statement, said the ranges approved in the board’s vote will have “devastating consequences” for low-income tenants. But the legal defense group said the board can still “reconsider” its vote and implement a rent freeze during the upcoming June meeting.
“Before then, we urge the board to listen to the cries of tenants and take into account how any rent increase will inevitably lead to higher rates of eviction, displacement, and homelessness for the more than two million New Yorkers who reside in a rent-stabilized dwelling,” the group said. “In order to remain in accordance with its own stated mandate of preserving affordability, fighting against unconscionable rent hikes, and preventing the uprooting of long-standing communities, the board must vote for an outright freeze on rents for stabilized units at the final vote in June.”

string(11219) "Generously sized, this Park Slope townhouse isn't short on period details, like wainscoting and mantels, or room to spread out, with five floors of living space. Located less than a block from Prospect Park at 819 Carroll Street, the 1890s brick and brownstone house sits in the Park Slope Historic District.
Plans were filed for the house and its seven neighbors in the row in 1896 by owner George B. Dearing. The architect behind the design of the four-story plus basement Romanesque Revival-style houses was architect Thomas McMahon, according to the designation report. A 1900 rental ad described No. 819 as having "a fancy front," and there are ornamental details on the brownstone lower levels. The upper levels are of red Roman brick; paired arched windows stretch across the top story. The details can be seen a bit more clearly in the circa 1940 tax photo.
The 18.58-foot-wide house is a legal two-family with a garden unit. It has been in the same hands since at least the 1970s. Presumably a new owner would want to update the wet rooms; neither the two kitchens nor the 4.5 bathrooms are shown in the listing photos.
What is on display are wood floors, columned mantels with original tile surrounds, wainscoting, stained glass, and moldings. Other than the entry and the stair, much of the woodwork on the parlor floor is painted white. Pocket doors separate the front parlor, the stair hall, and the dining room at the rear. All three rooms have impressive columned mantels. A small kitchen is in an extension off the dining room (formerly a butler's pantry with a second stair to the kitchen).
On the second floor, front and rear bedrooms are joined with a passthrough that still has sinks and built-in storage, according to the floor plan. A full bath is accessible via the rear bedroom. Two more bedrooms, each with a corner sink, share another bath on the third floor. All the bedrooms shown have wood floors and wall moldings.
On the top floor are two small bedrooms, one with unpainted moldings, and the final full bath. Also on this level is a storage room and four closets.
Access to the rear yard is via a sliding door in the garden unit. There is a paved patio, planting beds, and a large tree.
Elaine Gay of Townsley & Gay has the listing and the house is priced at $5.75 million. What do you think?
