It looks like a historic house at 11 Dolma Road will stand, despite a court ruling in Westchester County Supreme Court in favor of the homeowners, who have applied to demolish it. In that case, Judge Susan Cacace overturned the findings of the Scarsdale Village Committee on Historic Preservation and the Scarsdale Board of Trustees with testimony from architectural historian Andrew Dolkart who found that the home clearly met several of the Village’s criteria for preservation. See all the details here:

The Committee for Historic Preservation voted unanimously to appeal that ruling at a meeting on March 14, 2022. Also present at the meeting were attorneys Patricia W. Gurahian and Linda B. Whitehead both from McCullough Goldberger & Staudt, LLP. The meeting was held in executive session. However a memo issues following the meeting notes that the decision will be appealed and that the homeowners have no right to raze the house while the appeal is in process.

Here is the memo:

RESOLVED, that the Committee’s attorneys shall file a Notice of Appeal of the Court’s Decision, Order and Judgment in an Article 78 Proceeding entitled Onedol Rock Holdings LP v. Village of Scarsdale, et. al., Index No. 54241/2021and take such action as is necessary to prosecute the appeal and enforce a statutory stay pending the resolution of the Appeal. The Resolution was unanimously adopted by the members present.
