Ellis Place and the Little Shop Tea Room
Ellis Place originated
as the Ellis Estate, which in 1851 was sold to local investors who divided the 13-acre property into 66 lots. Ellis Place, lined with gracious Victorian homes, is arguably the Village's first planned residential boulevard, offering proximity to Pleasant Square and downtown.

The property at the northeast corner of Ellis Place and South Highland Avenue once held the large Stick Victorian style house built around 1850 by David McCord, Jr., descendant of one of the tenants on the Philipse Estate in 1750. In the early 1900s, Sarah Beatty, proprietor of the "Little Shop Tea Room" moved her business from Spring Street to this location, where she both lived and worked. The house was razed in the 1930s.
