Ruins of the Underhill Wine Cellars

The article presents three undated photographs, likely from the 1920s or 1930s, documenting the remnants of wine cellars on Croton Point. These images were captured by Leslie V. Case, who served as superintendent of Tarrytown Schools for over three decades.

Case was an accomplished amateur archaeologist and geologist who collected Egyptian artifacts, gemstones, and Native American relics. He chaired the Westchester Historical Society's Committee on Indian Remains and eventually lived in a historic 1848 house on Grove Street in Tarrytown.

The photographs show "portions of what was then the ruins of the Underhill wine cellars on Croton Point." Following Underhill's death in 1871, wine remaining in storage was eventually sold through druggists, as some family heirs held "extreme temperance views."
