The Smith-Robinson House
Hudson River marble, technically a dolomitic limestone, quarried at Sing Sing Prison was used as a popular 19th century building material. This house is one of four remaining Sing Sing marble buildings in the Village. In the 1830s, James Robinson purchased the Smith property, which extended to Route 9 and south to the State Farm property (Nelson Park vicinity). He built this mansion overlooking the Hudson. Financial difficulties forced him to subdivide the property and sell the lots. In the 20th century the building was part of the Catholic Community club recreational facility. Designer and artist Vera Neumann, known for her signature scarves and textiles, purchased the property the 1950s<-- sic -->. The Smith-Robinson House has one of the best Greek Revival interiors in Ossining.
