Proposed Layout of the Grounds of Pelham Memorial High School in 1920
Included in the files of The Office of The Historian of The Town of
Pelham is a copy of a portion of a page from the July 24, 1920 issue of
The Pelham Sun showing a proposed layout of the grounds of the Pelham
Memorial High School. An image of the item appears immediately below.
The map of the proposed grounds is entitled "General Plan of the
Memorial High School Property and Roosevelt Field Union Free School
District No 2 Town of Pelham Westchester County NY". According to the
legend the map was prepared by the "Office of John F. Fairchild, Civil
Engineer First National Bank Bld'g Mount Vernon, N.Y. July-8-1920". John
Fairchild, of course, was a resident of the Village of Pelham (Pelham
Heights) at the time.
The map shows what was labeled "Roosevelt Field" adjacent to the high
school containing a 1/5 mile oval track with a 120-yard straightaway track
adjacent to it. Within the oval track is a football field and a baseball
diamond. Northeast of the high school building are five tennis courts.
