Bayside Historic Resources
Orange denotes streets/areas with significant numbers of historic resources
Two properties are currently landmarked in Bayside: 35-34 Bell Boulevard, otherwise
known as the Cobblestone House, and the Lawrence Graveyard. One property, the
"Gentleman" Jim Corbett house is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Two other properties are calendared by the Landmarks Preservation Commission: the
Ahles house, the last Bell family property still extant, and Cambridge Court, a Tudor
Revival-style apartment complex. Both properties have not been designated landmarks
due to opposition from Council Member Halloran, who has stated publicly that he will
overturn any landmark designation that does not have owner approval.
There are numerous individual buildings of historic interest and quality in Bayside as well
as at least six potential historic districts, all planned communities over a century old.
Lawrence Manor has been found eligible to be included on the State and National Registers
of Historic Places. Bellcourt, developed on the last portion of the former Bell Estate, has
private deed restrictions that have helped to protect this neighborhood's architectural character.
