Latest news from CVPA

Written By Florencia Domínguez
 

  • The original 1855 Vaux and Withers architectural drawings of the Hoyt residence have been located! They are being offered to the Avery Library at Columbia University for archiving.


  • CVPA is progressing on repairing and re-opening the Hoyt Carriageway Bridge in Staatsburg, the historic main entrance to The Point and the long-popular hiking trail into Mills Norrie State Park.  Please see the update in the more detailed section on the bridge.


  • Kyle Toth of PS&S LLC has written a narrative for an “official” walking tour of The Point, soon to be publicly available.


  • CVPA’s efforts to re-purpose The Point were the focus of a meeting with NYS Assemblymember Didi Barrett, representatives of the NYS Historic Preservation Office, and others, regarding the future of the site.  A second meeting was held with State Senator Hinchey’s office, which ultimately resulted in CVPA being awarded a $50,000 NYS CREST grant for stabilization work on the main house (Hoyt house) at The Point.
