When a few antique-loving board members came up with the idea of an appraisal day, it seemed like a perfect fit for LHS. “What could be better than to offer residents the chance to learn the history and value of their own objects?” questioned Pier Witek, one of the LHS board members who suggested organizing the event. “After The Potomack Company vol-unteered their time, it all fell into place,” explained Margi Gristina, fellow board member and chair of the event. “The panel discussion before the appraisals begin will be an inter-esting opportunity to learn more about spotting quality objects.

The Larchmont Historical Society was founded in 1980 and chartered in 1981 as a not-for-profit educational corpora-tion by the New York State Board of Regents to discover, preserve and dis-seminate information concerning the natural, social, and civic history of Larchmont, and to promote the preser-vation of local historical sites and struc-tures. The Society maintains an ar-chives in the Mamaroneck Town Cen-ter, 740 W. Boston Post Rd., Mamaroneck; publishes a newsletter; offers programs; conducts tours for school children and adults; and offers outreach lectures to other community groups. The newsletter is published to provide news of the Society and occa-sional articles of related interest. Opin-ions expressed are those of their au-thors; publication should not be con-strued as endorsement by the Society.

President’s Message:

Get ready to mark your calendars! As we enter 2009, many wonderful things are happening around the Larchmont Historical Society. On February 7, our first Antiques Appraisal Day will be held at St. John’s Church. The program will begin with a panel discussion about valuing antiques, and then several experts from the Potomack Company will be on hand to provide appraisals for items people want to bring in. March is Women’s History Month, and we are hosting a talk by cultural historian and author, Lori Rotskoff, on Thursday, March 26. Her talk will explore the im-pact of the women’s movement on the experiences and values of mothers and chil-dren. Lori has won two grants for her research on this topic and has offered to share her insight with us. The House Tour Committee is putting together yet another wonderful spring event for us with some very intriguing homes that will be “must see.” The date is Sun-day, April 26, and we’ll need plenty of volunteers if you would like to help out. For LHS, 2008 ended with a bang (and a martini). To toast the 75th anniversary of the repeal of prohibition, a Speakeasy Murder Mystery evening was held on De-cember 6. To add to the mystery, the event was to be held at an “undisclosed loca-tion,” and guests were notified that morning to look for the red light and enter at the side door at none other than the Manor House. The Olssons once again gener-ously opened their home to LHS, and when the guests (decked out “to the nines”) arrived, they were given roles to play; the liquor flowed, the music played, and murder and mayhem ensued. Many thanks to Dee Van Eyck and Patti Roberts (and the Olssons!) for organizing this fun and creative evening. A good time was had by all! Over the last couple of years, the Larchmont Historical Society has been the re-cipient of some generous donations. One $5,000 gift was given specifically to go toward preserving the cemetery along the Boston Post Road, and that project is now underway. We’ve just recently received a similarly generous gift, and we feel so fortunate. These types of donations make a big difference to a small society. We still need to raise funds to cover our annual operating costs, but these special gifts permit us to undertake projects that make a major difference in our ability to preserve our community’s legacy. - Colette Rodbell

From the Archives:

“As any researcher knows, you can start down a path of inquiry that may seem straight and narrow, yet find yourself down a strange byway. It is often, however, that these roads less trav-elled can offer the most interesting sights to see.

Recently I was pursuing an inquiry about Eleanor Roose-velt visiting MHS back in 1949 or 1950, and in perusing micro-film of The Larchmont Times newspapers from that era I kept getting sidetracked by Other Things that caught my atten-tion. In the September 8, 1949 issue there was a headline re-ferring to “Merriam Modell Writing New Novel In Larch-mont Residence”. Oooooo…. that sounds interesting, doesn’t it? Well! Mrs. Modell, de-scribed as, author of last year’s best-selling ‘My Sister, My Bride’ [I’m now accepting

guesses on what THAT novel was about….] was “at work on her third novel at the lovely old residence the Modells had pur-chased at 17 Pryer Lane, formerly occupied by another writer, Annalee Jacoby, co-author of ‘Thunder Out of China’.” Fasci-nating! I’ll have to do more research on all that!

Further on in September of 1949 I saw that the upcoming Elea-nor Roosevelt visit -- my primary reason for searching through this microfilm -- was part of a speaker series by the Larchmont Forum for Public Opinion. My original quarry was in sight! The article cited several past “distinguished speakers” brought to the community by the Forum, including Clifton Fadiman, a name I recognized. But then, continuing through the pages there was a marriage announcement that distracted me for a bit, with photo of a young

woman, Maryanne Meyer, whose name seemed very familiar to me. I realized that she was part of a Larchmont family I had been researching last year as a result of an inquiry from a woman in Arizona. Now here was another piece of their story I might otherwise have passed by. I carried on towards the actual Eleanor Roosevelt visit which occurred in February of 1950, but my eye was also drawn to a little piece referring to the recent marriage of Clifton Fadiman and Annalee Jacoby! My God! Less than 6 degrees of separa-tion! I suspect that the Larchmont Forum for Public Opinion benefited from his romance with a Larchmont resident. Or maybe… maybe they met at the Forum’s program when Clifton spoke…. But I digress. Must confine self to verifiable facts and leave the speculation to the novel writers! - Lynne Crowley, Archivist

Annalee Jacoby and Theodore H. White. They co-wrote “Thunder out of China”and constituted the Chungkiing bureau for TIME during the war years.

We invite LHS members and the public to come listen to Lori Rotskoff, a cultural historian and Larchmont resident, discuss the impact of the women’s movement on mothers and children in the United States. Ms. Rotskoff’s presentation will address questions at the knotty intersection of feminism and motherhood. How did women’s experiences as parents affect the priorities of the women’s movement in matters of childcare, parenting, education, and children’s literature? Conversely, how did the struggle for gender equality change the lives of children at home, at school, and on the playing field? Come discover how mothers and children played an important role in the struggle for social equality in America. Lori Rotskoff is the author of Love on the Rocks: Men, Women and Alcohol in Post-World War II America (University of North Carolina Press, 2002). She earned a Ph.D. in American Studies from Yale University, and has won fellowships and research grants from the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, the American His-torical Society, and the Schlesinger Library. She has taught at Yale and Sarah Lawrence College and is currently teaching at the Barnard Center for Research on Women. She lives in Larchmont with her husband and two children.

The Juice Joint Was Jumping! At approximately 10:00 pm on Saturday, December 6, 2008, Notorious Nick was murdered at a local speakeasy in Larch-mont. Although the Juice Joint was jumpin’ that night, no one saw the horrendous act. What you ask? Juice Joint? Speakeasy? Murder in Larchmont

That’s right! On Saturday, December 6, the Larchmont Histori-cal Society held a Speakeasy Murder Mystery night at the his-torical Larchmont Manor House on Elm Street in Larchmont to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the repeal of prohibi-tion. Legend has it that during prohibition, many Larchmont Manor homes did double-duty as speakeasies. Approximately sixty Historical Society members and guests attended the party. People dressed in period clothing, either by designing their own dresses, trolling the internet or their mother’s clos-ets. And at about 10:00 pm, Notorious Nick, aka Josh Dionne, was murdered! His fiancé, Molly Moll, was inconsolable.

The evening began at 6:30 pm with cocktails and continued with dinner and dessert. Guests were assigned roles to play and given instruction for each act of the “show” (see cast list at right). Dinner was catered by the incomparable Mathew Karp of Plates in a dining room transformed into a café with red checkered ta-blecloths. Some of the guests—Dina Diva, Molly Moll and Mrs. Mabel Biggs sang and danced to provide a historical flavor to the entertainment. A talented piano and bass duo also played great period music throughout the evening.

The evenings photography was compliments of James Lewis of L.J. Studios; music was provided by members of the Nick Russo Group and the murder mystery package was from www.nightofmystery.com who even donated the performance fees for the night! Many thanks to Dee van Eyck who organized this fabulous event, to the Olsson’s for graciously opening their home and to all the participants whose enthusiasm made the party so much fun. -Elaine Everhart

Century Homes Club Research Rife with Fabulous

New Discoveries

We are delighted to have more than half a dozen homes which are currently in the research phase of joining the Century Homes Club. Each of these are homes which we are satisfied meet the age requirement of being at least 100 years old, and we have turned up enough interesting data on each to warrant further investigation. It is our hope to be able to not only to date a house to the best or our ability, but to also, where appropriate determine the name by which the house was described at the time. As historical researchers, we are quite fortunate to have a fairly significant amount of source material (newspapers, wills, deeds, maps, photographs, correspondence and village docu-ments, to name but a few) upon which to draw our information. How well do you know Larchmont? Can you identify this house? Submit your answer to [email protected].
