Yonkers Then and Now

Then and Now

This section will seek to compare an early photograph of a residence with a photo of the home today. In some cases we were able to look at part of a street and compare a number of buildings.

Sometimes its really hard to see through the new "skins" which can include:

Enclosing the porch, adding a below level garage, adding modern siding, moving the walkways, adding patios, etc.

You can judge for yourself those homes and buildings that have kept true to their architectural heritage and those that have not.
