Map of Shonnard Park

Map of Shonnard Park at Yonkers,
ca. 1875

The Shonnard family of Yonkers owned 220 acres of property along the Hudson River on Warburton Avenue, which Edward Shonnard sold to his friend John Bond Trevor in 1876. Prior to the sale of the property to Trevor, Shonnard had a map drawn of the estate dividing the property into 36 lots. Apparently, he sought to sell the land to a developer, who would turn the property into a suburban-commuter development. However, when his fellow harness racing friend expressed an interest in the property, he sold it to him. Trevor immediately began building his High Gothic Style home, Glenview, on the property. Today, Glenview is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is part of the Hudson River Museum.
