About Mount Vernon
Mount Vernon became a village in 1853 and a city in 1892; early growth came from a cooperative that built homes for tradesmen and people of small means.
Mount Vernon is the third-largest and most densely populated city in Westchester County; in its North Side neighborhood of Fleetwood, large co-op buildings line Gramatan Avenue.
St. Paul's Church on the South Side was designated a National Historic Site in 1978; the John Stevens House and Trinity Episcopal Church Complex are on the National Register.
What This Means for Your Mount Vernon Chimney
Winters are hard on masonry
Cold winters with many freeze and thaw cycles work water into brick and mortar every year. Keep the chimney swept and inspected once a year, keep a cap on top, and fix small cracks before they spread. Read: How Often Should a Chimney Be Swept?

Half of the homes in Mount Vernon were built before 1952, and 34.9% date from before 1940, so many chimneys here still run on original clay tile or unlined brick, and mortar joints that old need repointing on a schedule. With about 109 freezing nights a year in Westchester County, water that gets into a crack freezes and widens it again and again, which is why we check the crown and flashing on every visit.
