The Leland Estate & Holy Family Chapel.
Constructed during the years 1856-1859, the Gothic Revival style structure known as Leland Castle once served as a large country estate, belonging to a wealthy hotel entrepreneur, Simeon Leland. With the death of Leland's wife in 1880 the house ceased being a private home and has seen many uses up to the present with the most recent being part of the campus for the College of New Rochelle.
Preservation
