4 1st St Rental

Built around 1850,4 First Street is one of the historic homes of Purdys,New York. The house was originally located near the Purdys train station,in the old hamlet that developed around the railroad during the 19th century. In the early 1890s,construction of the Titicus Dam and Reservoir transformed the surrounding landscape as New York City expanded its Croton water-supply system. Land was acquired for the new reservoir,and buildings in the affected area had to be removed or relocated. 4 First Street was one of the houses moved as a result of the reservoir project,transported by oxen from its original location near the railroad to its present site in the Purdys hamlet. Today,more than 175 years after it was built,4 First Street survives as a tangible connection to both the early settlement of Purdys and the dramatic transformation of North Salem brought about by the creation of the Titicus Reservoir.
