At Home In Nyack 
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!
