FIRST PUBLIC SCHOOL Although the first local schools were funded privately, Bronxville’s first public school was built in 1870 on land donated by the DeWitt brothers. This one-room, wood-frame structure was replaced in 1906 by a larger brick building. Less than two decades later, Bronxville’s rapid growth required a substantially larger school. In 1922 work began on the first two wings of today’s beautiful K-12 public school on Pondfield Road facing the Reformed Church. <<Previous • Chapter List • Next>>
