Irvington, a small village 20 miles north of New York City, overlooks the widest point of the Hudson River. The 19th-century castles and chateaus built along �America�s Rhine� have been replaced, yet Main Street remains almost exactly as it was in 1900.
Judith Doolin Spikes, researcher and writer, and Anne Marie Leone, photographer, coauthor a weekly series published in the Rivertowns Enterprise. With a majority of the vintage images contributed by the Irvington Public Library, these companion images honor Irvington�s past and present.
