Mamaroneck Officials Push to Get Unique 'Skinny House' on Historic Registry

Mamaroneck officials are applying to the National Registry of Historic Places to have a unique, 10-foot-wide “skinny house” recognized.

The home, built in the 1930s on Grand Street, is currently owned by Ida Santangelo and her daughter, but the three-story, red-shingled gem next door has become too expensive for them to repair and maintain, reports Fios1 News.

So local officials have stepped up in an effort to have the house added to the historic registry, which would open it up for possible grants for renovations. The application and approval process could take about a year if successful.

“This is more than just a skinny house,” Mamaroneck Mayor Norman Rosenblum told Fios1 News. “This represents the best of what America is, neighbors helping neighors and that’s how this came about.”
