The Historic American Buildings Survey, created
by Works Progress Administration workers in 1933, includes architectural
renderings and floor plans of historic homes, churches, businesses
and public buildings in Westchester. Many plans include sketches
of exterior and interior architectural details. Other structures
documented in the collection include the Jacob Purdy House in White
Plains, the Old Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow, and the Elephant
Hotel in Somers.
Built in 1787, the Bedford Court House still
stands. County Court sessions were held at both Bedford and White
Plains until 1870, at which time all county proceedings were moved
to White Plains. The Bedford Court House became a museum and home
of the Bedford
Historical Society. It is the oldest extant government building
in Westchester County.
