Info
Cedar Knolls is a historic landmark district located in Bronxville, Westchester County, New York. It was described in a 2001 New York Times article, as “Cedar Knolls, a snug suburban neighborhood in the northeast corner of Yonkers, is in many ways a community frozen in time. The subdivision of narrow and meandering streets exists today mostly unchanged since it was built in the early 20th century; its boundaries intact, its neo-Classical style architecture preserved, and its current residents still reflecting the spirit of community shared by the first people to move there."Approved as a subdivision in 1913 and granted landmark status by the city of Yonkers in 1996, the 104-acre, 143-home neighborhood has historical and current associations with the arts, sports, and business. Cedar Knolls is a former artist colony, and composer Jerome Kern and actor Charlie Chaplin each called Cedar Knolls their home for a period in their lives. Residents from multiple professions and all areas of business are now part of the community.
