The first structure was built about 1830 by a man named Cox, as a horse barn. About 1850 it operated as a hat factory, and after that went back to a barn for horses. In 1891 a lithographer named Mr Wagner bought it from A. Baxter and converted it to a residence. Through the years and various owners, the actor David Niven lived there in the 1960s and it was known for the big parties he would throw. Corolla Dost bought the property about 1990, and operated a Bed and Breakfast in the property for over 20 years. Accordingly, a huge bronze statue of a horse once graced the front lawn.

Transportation to NYC is close by, with the Tarrytown train to Grand Central, only 12 min. away, and the bus to NYC can be hailed right in front of the property.
