River Road was originally a foot trail for native Americans to travel to and from the river, later a horseback trail and finally a road. It's been called the prettiest road in Rockland County. It just underwent a huge, multi-million dollar rebuild and sidewalks were added for easier access for residents. Active sandstone/brownstone quarries were located behind this home and quarried until the early/mid 1800s. In the later part of the 19th/early 20th century, there was a active yacht club directly across the street. The only element that remains of it today, is a bell tower. 115 River Rd has been owned by many through the years. One family of particular note, were brothers, Charles and Daniel Frohman, in the 1890s. They started their careers in the American Theater as actors in the early days of Broadway, and later became theatrical producers and managers. Grandview attracted many actors at the turn of the century and there were several boarding houses & hotels that attracted successful New Yorkers of the day, including Diamond Jim Brady and actress, Lillian Russell, who were regulars to Grandview. The Frohman brothers developed a system of road companies that would tour the nation while the shows also played in NYC. In 1890s, Frohman co-founded the Theatrical Syndicate, a nationwide chain of theaters that dominated the American touring company business for more than two decades. They produced top hits of the day. Frohman also went into business with Adolph Zukor, another Rockland County resident, who was one of the three founders of Paramount Studios. A very special place. Nothing compares to 115 River Road! Additional Information: ParkingFeatures:1 Car Detached,
