The Parsonage
“The Parsonage — standing on its original site on Arthur Kill Road at the corner of Clarke Avenue — was built in 1855 as home for the pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church (now demolished) that once stood nearby,” Historic Richmond Town reports on its website.
“The Parsonage is an example of Carpenter Gothic style — a form of Gothic Revival architecture — with the characteristic exterior woodwork of the style (sometimes called gingerbread), as well as many original interior features. The building has two stories and a one-story porch on its front and two sides.”
The Parsonage in Historic Richmond Town was designated an official NYC landmark by the NewLandmarks Preservation Commission in 1969.

“This remarkable Gothic villa is one of many which once adorned the Island,” wrote the city Landmarks Preservation Commission when designating this home on hilltop Pendleton Place in New Brighton a landmark in 1969.
It was constructed circa 1855 and is known as the W.S. Pendleton House.
“Diamond shaped glass is used in all the windows, and there is an unusual variety in the shapes and sizes of the windows in this house. They are found single, grouped in pairs, in a bay window of four of four units with arched tracery at the top, and many are of the pointed-arch type with double-hung sash,” the city Landmarks Preservation Commission has noted about this house at 22 Pendleton Place.

Designated an official NYC landmark in 1967, the Dr. Samuel MacKenzie Elliott House at 69 Delafield Place in Livingston “is an excellent example of country Gothic Revival architecture,” the Landmarks Preservation Commission has noted. “Constructed of locally quarried random stone, the house was built about 1840 by Dr. Elliott, who was one of this country’s first oculists.”
“The large entranceway is framed by diamond-shaped colored glass sidelights in blue and orange and is crowned by a transom displaying glasswork in fan pattern,” the Landmark Preservation Commission noted in its report designating this house a landmark.
