About Tuckahoe
Tuckahoe is a village of about 1.5 by 0.75 miles in southern Westchester County, with the Bronx River as its western edge; in the 1700s and 1800s it was a minor rural community within the town of Eastchester.
Marble quarrying began in Tuckahoe in 1812, and "Tuckahoe Marble" made it known as the marble capital of the world for nearly a century; the Church of the Immaculate Conception is built of it.
The Ward House at 230 White Plains Road, a Revolutionary War tavern burned by the British in 1778, was rebuilt in the early 1790s and still stands.
What This Means for Your Tuckahoe 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 Tuckahoe were built before 1966, and 21.6% date from before 1940, so a good share of chimneys here were built to older standards, with clay tile liners and crowns that are now decades old. 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.
