View from Public Green Looking to Main Entrance.

Looking back towards Pelhamdale Avenue from the entrance to the Green, not a trace of a house can be seen � just cow pastures neatly divided by sidewalks and streets. The landing and walkway into the Green are level (today the walkway is two feet higher than the landing) and appear to be constructed of light gravel or concrete. Each pillar is topped with a spectacular four-foot neo-classical urn.  The submerged bolder on the left has sunk only slightly in the past 114 years; the sugar maple behind it is long gone. Utility poles stand in the distance on Pelhamdale Avenue, and a single roofline marks the crest of the ridge in New Rochelle.
