MORTON BUILDING, 1907 (CLICK ON THE PHOTO)
The Morton Building was located on North Riverside Avenue between Brook and Bank Streets. It was torn down when the highway was built because the rerouted Riverside Avenue would run through the area occupied by the front half of the building.
The photograph is from a 1907 booklet called Picturesque Croton-on-Hudson, which includes this description of the building. “The most attractive building in Croton-on-Hudson is the Morton Building, situated on the Main business street. This structure is thirty-six by sixty-five feet, and is built entirely of concrete, all the structure above ground being of hollow concrete blocks. The first floor of the building is occupied by the Croton Journal, and on the north side by the Dry Goods store of R. T. Cameron. The Ossining National Bank does business in this building Tuesdays and Fridays. They receive deposits and attend to other banking business on these days.” READ MORE AT https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=697151702202744&set=a.563048562279726
