Seemingly named due to the cottages built along it in its early days, this road went between Hamilton Avenue and Barker Avenue when built circa 1878. By 1899 it had been extended north to what is now Rockledge Avenue. Its original block was accepted as public in 1891, and, perhaps inadvertently, renamed Cottage Street.

AuthorMy name is Cliff Blau. I was born and raised in White Plains, NY, and in 2015 became interested in learning more about the history of this fair city. The pathway I took into White Plains history was to discover the reason for the names of each of the streets. See https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1WvlOinVQnWh4KGDmEN7YPFfg4II for an annotated map of White Plains. Archives
