How streets are matched to estates
The estate page answers one question: which country place, farm, orchard, or club was under this address before the lots were cut. It covers about 1870 to 1960. Older manor grants are left out on purpose.
How streets are matched
Every residential street on the 2026 roll in the ten editions is assigned to a holding. A named plat or documented estate gets a street when a published source ties that street to it. Leftover Scarsdale streets are matched by elementary school zone to the neighborhood that still carries the plat name: Edgewood to Arthur Manor, Fox Meadow to the Butler sale, Greenacres to Scarsdale Estates, Heathcote to Cannon's tract, Quaker Ridge to the golf-club remainder. Streets with no named holding are marked later streets. They were cut from leftover land after the named plats.
What the colored areas are
The colored areas are outlines drawn around the streets in a holding. We reconstructed them from the sources. They are not surveyed deed lines or tracings from the Bromley atlas. Today's streets stay on the base map, so you can see them over the older name. Tapping a patch or searching an address brings up the same card.

What this does not cover
This is not a chain of title, and it is not an appraisal of the house that stands there now. It does not go back to colonial patents. A later-streets result still tells you something: the older named holdings are nearby, and the street was cut from the land left over.
FAQ
How far back does this go?
It covers country places, farms, orchards, and clubs from roughly 1870 to 1960. Older manor grants are left out.
Is a later-streets result a miss?
No. It means the sources we used do not put the street on one named holding. It was cut later from leftover land.
