Short film: A Letter To My Hometown

By Amelia Silvestro

Amelia Silvestro is a young filmmaker who grew up in Mamaroneck and is a third-generation Mamaroneck resident. She is a freelance filmmaker who has been working on film projects within the community with her sister Melina. This 2-minute film is inspired by her childhood memories of Mamaroneck and the nostalgia of getting older. This is an independent film project created from the concept of writing a love letter and a goodbye letter to one’s hometown before entering a new phase in life, making a change or leaving. ‘I wanted to capture the feeling of nostalgia for one’s home and looking back on something before you’ve even left it..” Amelia is a second-year student working toward a BA in film at Fordham University.

Tour 1: Interactive map

Mamaroneck Avenue’s buildings go back in time. Eighteen of the more than 70 buildings on the avenue date back to the late 1800s, and the largest number, 32, went up between 1900 and 1925. This chart breaks down when the buildings date from.

See when individual buildings date from in the interactive map below. The circles with the addresses are color-coded by period.

Tour 2: Scroll the Avenue, see current, vintage photos

Starting on the west side (Sal's, Robert's), scroll address by address and see the year the building was constructed and the businesses there at various times, along with current and vintage photos.

Note: Mamaroneck Avenue addresses were renumbered around 1941. They originally started at 40 at Boston Post Road and ran sequentially up the avenue. After the renumbering they started at 100, and each block started with the next 100 - 200 block, 300 block, etc. Under both systems, west side addresses were even numbers and east side addresses were odd numbers. .

In the lists below, some buildings house two or more addresses. In those cases, and in pre-1941 listings, addresses are given in parentheses - (118), etc. Some vintage photos show trolley tracks or trolleys. Trolleys between Mamaaroneck and White Plains started running in 1898. Brick pavement was added before 1910.

The number of non-food retail shops on the avenue peaked in 1981 at 69, about half of all businesses on the avenue. You could buy clothes at 12 shops, jewelry at four, antiques at at least nine, appliances at three. You could shop the Avenue for books, office supplies, pets, carpets, music, camera film, even typewriters.

In 2024, there are 23 non-food retail shops along that stretch of Mamaroneck Avenue.

Local retail businesses were hit by:

— Competition from malls and big-box stores

— A 5-alarm fire in 1983 that burned a stretch of businesses that stood where the Regatta is now.

— The internet

— Amazon (founded 1994) and other online retailers

— The Great Recession (2007-09)

— The pandemic (started 2020, still going)

While retail fell, restaurants surged. In 1981, diners could eat at 12 restaurants on those few blocks of Mamaroneck Avenue. In 2024, diners have 45 to choose from, making Mamaroneck a destination.

Before the Avenue, shoppers flocked to 'the Square'

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the area around Liberty Square at Mamaroneck Avenue and West and East Boston Post roads was Mamaroneck Village's commercial center. It included shops on the lower end of Mamaroneck Avenue plus shops on both sides of West Boston Post Road as well as on East Boston Post Road off the avenue.

Where the Mamaroneck sewage treatment plant sits now, shops like William T. Herlyn’s Prospect Market lined West Boston Post Road at that time. They treatment plant was built around 1930.
