My father was born at the old Ossining hospital on James st. Before the one on spring st. I grew on stone ave. The same lack of vision that destroyed Penn Station in NYC, destroyed our village. My high school years were spent watching the wrecking ball. But like most villagers I’m very proud of Ossining and not a finer place to grow up. Great video. My godmother worked at Kipps!
My father was born at the hospital on Spring Street in 1931 and grew up at 68 Stone Ave. Last name Peffers. I grew up in the apt complex across from the library on Croton Ave and went to St. Ann's school. My nephew is currently a Village of Ossining police officer. Ossining holds a dear place in my heart.
Quite a wonderfully researched video. I learned a lot. My life in Ossining began 1964 at age 3. Great place to grow up. Not Perfect but great overall potential. Thank you for this
I was born and raised in Ossining and moved out in the late 70's and still regret moving. I love watching this video and it brings tears to my eyes. I will always love Ossining..
This is fantastic … thank you! I was born and raised in Ossining. Graduated OHS in 1969. My grandparents started White’s Groceries, which later became White’s Restaurant on Main Street. They lived over Modern Modes, and then moved to Maurice Avenue. Our cousins owned Markowitz Mens’ and Boys’ wear. I loved those good old days!
I was born in Ossining. I made the Ossining newspaper in 1955 as the last baby delivered in Ossining hospital. Although my family moved upstate in 1960, I still have fond memories of my early childhood in Ossining.
This is magnificently well done. As a virtual life long resident of Ossining, my first memories of downtown were of blight- the current progress is welcome and a long time coming. The way this gives context is priceless. As a real estate broker who deals with NYC and other out of area home buyers pondering their options, this helps me sell a place I dearly love and have chosen for my own family and business.
I grew up in Ossining (born in the mid 50's) Lived on Susquehanna RdWas a wonderful place to grow up in.Thank you for this wonderful visual documentary.
I was born in Ossining's brick hospital on Spring Street on May 7, 1955. My infancy was spent in an apartment above "Main Street Gifts" on the north side of Main Street. Then we moved to what had been (and still is) called the "Jug Tavern", 74 Revolutionary Road. Then, in 1964, we moved to a shared building, 25/25 1/2 William Street. I consider my pre-teen childhood the happiest years of my life, despite the fact that I'm retired, moved out of the New York Tri-State area (Thank God!), and am now living in a sweet little town in northern Vermont now. My Mom and Dad (Naomi and Guy Calhoon) used to buy Christmas presents for each other and us kids from Woolworth's, J. J. Newberry and W. T. Grant's on Main Street. I wonder if any archaeologists sent by Ossining's historians found - and continue to find - forgotten toy soldiers and miniature tea cups stuck in the soil of the back yard of 74 Revolutionary Road. I remember the Victoria Theatre. I enjoyed watching "Jason and the Argonauts" there. I couldn't afford to see Disney's "Mary Poppins" or the Beatles' "Hard Day's Night". But I remember the plush seats, and how a matinee audience of kids filled the theatre with shrill laughter watching "Pirate Sam" swimming and carrying a bomb, then being swallowed by a big dumb fish - and seeing him and the fish explode - on the big screen. My favorite movie seats were in the balcony. I also remember the old perfume dispensing machines in the ladies' room. Out of curiosity, I paid 5 cents to get spritzed with "My Sin" - and when I got back home, my Mom exclaimed, "Phew! What stinks?", and told me to take a bath - immediately. I remember a pet store with a wooden floor on the south side of Main Street before all the old buildings there were knocked down. In fact, Woolworth's and W. T. Grant's had wooden floors, tin ceilings, and huge wooden ceiling fans. It seems the employees and owners of every business knew every customer by name. I miss it all. Mostly, however, I wish I could see a guided tour of the all the rooms of 74 Revolutionary Road on the internet. Every so often, I have dreams about this house. I can't tour the house myself; I cannot possibly get down to the New York Tri-State area ever again. I knew something was wrong in my world when I was a teenager. So much of my town was decaying or being demolished. Since the 1970's, after I left the area for the military right after I graduated Ossining High School, I felt I had no home to return to anymore. I'm glad to learn there's been a comeback in the town of my birth, and hope there is more respect for our small-town past across the United States. I have so much more to say! And I'm very interested in videos or pictures of the interior of 74 Revolutionary Road. If you want to contact me, feel free.
Beautifully done!! We lived there from 1966 to 1983. There was nothing in the world like the Sunday morning glazed donuts from the Ossining Bakery! But how come no mention at all of Trinity Church?
Bringing life to Ossining-'the good life". All thanks to Dana White (and the other contributors), for a brilliant presentation and uplifting view of "Our Town".
This was a beautiful presentation but it brought me such sadness as I was reminded of how this worthy village was brought to rubble. And so many were displaced during that process.
I miss my home down,my hudson river, friends, relatives. Thanks to Facebook i can bring back old memories. Hopefully I might make it back for a visit God willing. Love you all and you know who I mean.
Awesome pictures. They bring back a lot of fond memories. I worked at the Victoria And Cameo theaters in my senior year at OHS. I saw ALL the movies. The Cameo was showing a lot of Disney - Snow White, Bambi, Cinderella, etc. Thanks for sharing. Are any of these in book form?
Ossining has gone way down hill. I grew up there and it was still mostly good to live in Ossining or perhaps I was just being fooled in my younger years. Now it Ossining is all messed up
Okay guess I posted my comment in the wrong place. The post that starts "I was born and raised in Ossining and out in the late 70's" My maiden name was Rosemary LaLuna and I lived on Broad St, next to Sing Sing.
wow. I am not sure but I shot a 14 min walk through of St Augustine Cemetery and I say a grave stone with LaLuna in the old section of the graveyard, for some reason that stone stuck out. Not sure if it has any significant or not. I just cheeped myself out.

Albert Mattson -OHS Class of 1949.. Many pleasant memories an a few tears.. Well done..
Hey Albert! You probably knew my father, Albert Peffers, OHS class of '49.

you can actually feel and see the history I live Ossining with all my heart and will never leave
