While I live in an area that is known for its natural beauty, I don’t actually have an apartment with a river view. I am an avid fan of the parks and architecture around here. For those of you who don't know, that tunnel shown above is part of the driveway of what used to be an estate at the top of the hill—what is now Fort Tryon Park. The Billings estate, used to be situated where the Cloisters Museum is now. The area used to be known as Inwood-on-the-Hudson, and is where many affluent folks built castle-like estates in the wilds of Upstate Manhattan. Isadore and Ida Strauss (both perished in the sinking of the Titanic) had a "country estate" in the hills of Inwood Hill Park. Some foundations still remain.

They are finally rerpairing the retaining wall that collapsed on the Henry Hudson Parkway. I would have been so angry if my car had been buried under that mess for so long! In the early 1900's it used to be part of the wall that surrounded the Paterno Estate (castle). See vintage postcards of this and the Billings Estate on a great website called Forgotten NY: www.forgottenny.com/

And speaking of Forgotten NY, Kevin Walsh, urban archeolgist and webmaster of the same wrote a special article on that exact subject, and included images (a full page spread) of the Seaman Ave arch, which used to be an entryway to another estate here in the area. Walsh also mentions The Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, one of my favorite places in Inwood. Buy his book!
