Arbor Hill Historic District–Ten Broeck Triangle
The Arbor Hill Historic District–Ten Broeck Triangle is located within the Arbor Hill neighborhood of Albany, New York, United States. It is a seven-block area north of downtown. In 1979 its current eastern section, the Ten Broeck Triangle, the second oldest residential neighborhood in the city, was recognized as a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Four years later, it was increased to its current size.
Sag Harbor, New York
After the Second World War the neighborhoods of Sag Harbor Hills, Ninevah and Azurest, Eastville and Chatfield's Hill were available to African-Americans. Mrs. Hunter J. Terry (born 1887, died 1968) was a summer visitor here where there was a coastal woodland acreage that she called Azurest. She urged the owners, the Gales, of Huntington, L.I. to develop the land as a peaceful resort. Lots were cheap, although loans were not available at that time. Thus lots and houses are small. The streets Terry Drive, Richards Drive and Meredith Avenue were named for members of her family. The roads Walker and Milton were named for African American whalers. Cuffee Drive was named for an early Native American family. The first homeowners and two generations have lived here near the beach by the time of Mrs. Terry's passing in the late 1960's. Later a few African-American celebrities and prominent New York businessmen made their summer homes there. The communities are friendly and neighborly. However, as of the 2010s, there is pressure from investors who, consolidating lots and planning to build larger houses than is customary, pose a threat to the character of the neighborhoods. In 2016, a collective group was formed to study these impacts on the neighborhoods of Sag Harbor Hills, Azurest, and Ninevah Subdivisions called known by the acronym SANS. They have begun a survey of the Historic Resources of this area with the hope of becoming listed as a historic district on the State and National Register of Historic Places.
