Pelham Manor is a compact, affluent village of 1.2 square miles in the Town of Pelham — the southernmost Westchester community, directly north of the Bronx and 29 minutes by Metro-North New Haven Line from Grand Central Terminal. The area's history runs deep: Thomas Pell purchased this land from the Siwanoy in 1654, and the Battle of Pelham was fought here on October 18, 1776, when Continental forces delayed a British advance along Split Rock Road. Incorporated in 1891, Pelham Manor developed rapidly through the early 20th century as a commuter village, producing the handsome pre-war housing stock that still defines its character today: Tudor Revival mansions and manor homes on larger lots in the village's interior, Georgian and Colonial Revival homes on the grid of tree-lined streets near the Boston Post Road corridor, and four properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places — Bolton Priory, Edgewood House, Manor Club, and Pelhamdale. Glen Island Park, a 105-acre island in Long Island Sound connected by a historic drawbridge, is one of the most distinctive public amenities in southern Westchester.
Meridian Contracting has served Pelham Manor and surrounding southern Westchester for more than 25 years. We're a family-owned business based in Yonkers. Pelham Manor's pre-war housing stock is the defining maintenance factor here: Tudor Revival and Georgian Colonial homes built in the 1890s through 1930s have masonry chimneys now 90-130 years old, complex original rooflines with multiple dormers and steeply pitched gables, and period wood siding that needs informed handling. Sound Shore proximity adds an ambient coastal humidity factor that inland Westchester communities don't share.

Pelham Manor’s housing stock is almost entirely pre-war — Tudor Revivals, Georgian Colonials, and manor-style homes built between the 1890s and 1930s, with very little postwar construction given the village’s density and
buildout. At this age, the homes have masonry chimneys now 90-130 years old with mortar that has been patched piecemeal over the decades rather than comprehensively replaced, complex original rooflines with steep pitches and multiple dormers that have more flashing joints than simpler postwar construction, and original or period-replacement wood siding that requires material-sensitive handling. Pelham Manor’s Tudor mansions in particular have roofline geometry — steeply pitched multi-gabled silhouettes with integrated masonry chimney masses — that is among the most architecturally specific residential work we encounter in southern Westchester.
Sound Shore proximity is the other defining maintenance factor. Pelham Manor’s location near Long Island Sound and Pelham Bay creates elevated ambient coastal humidity that accelerates wood rot in soffit and fascia systems, promotes moss and algae growth on shaded roof surfaces, and keeps chimney masonry more consistently moist between freeze-thaw cycles than in more sheltered inland communities. These are the same coastal conditions that affect New Rochelle and Mamaroneck to the north.
