Here’s the Answer! to Where in Mamaroneck?

And the answer is… the present day Mamaroneck Town Center,  “the $50,000 school building elevated on a hill which can be seen for miles around and (which) is a proclamation of the character and intelligence of our citizens…”

Congrats to those who guessed correctly (and to those who came close.)

The present day Mamaroneck Town Center, the building at West Boston Post Road, served as the High School when it was built in 1888, and gradually became the Town Center by 1969.  One reader posts on our Facebook page , “they put the 9th Graders there in 1969; it was awful we had to cross muddy field in our miniskirts.”

Here’s some more history, courtesy Larchmont Historical Society:
