Live in Nyack and wondering if you know the history of 22 Dickinson Avenue mansion.
Hey Ted! I’ve been trying to find out some good information on that house – I certainly know I’ve shown the apartments there enough times as a real estate agent! I have been told by some neighbors that they THINK it was used as a private school for a while, but I haven’t been able to positively verify that!
