THE HISTORY & ARCHITECTURE The main
wing (known as the H.F. Spaulding Estate Coachman's House) was
built around 1880 and designed by the architect Charles W. Clinton
in the picturesque Victorian Stick style. The smaller wing was
built around 1860. Both buildings were relocated to their
current site from the Wave Hill estate across the street in 1909,
and they were linked by a one-story addition in 1968.
Historically and architecturally significant, the residence was
designated a city landmark in 1981 and was placed on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1982. According to the Guide to New
York City Landmarks, "Lively and varied textures are created by
board-and-batten siding on the first floor, crossed sticks above,
dormer windows with jigsaw ornament, and a slate roof with
overhanging eaves." The authoritative AIA Guide to New York
City (3rd Edition) uses one word to describe the Coachman's House:
"Glorious." THE SETTING Situated on one
of Riverdale's most bucolic avenues, and directly across from the
exquisite greenery of Wave Hill public gardens and culture center,
the home is close to well-known private schools (Horace Mann,
Fieldston, Riverdale Country School and SAR Academy), the Riverdale
Yacht Club and the Metro-North trains and express buses to
Manhattan.
