        The cornerstone of the Monument was laid on July 4, 1930. The event was covered in The New York Times the next day: https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1930/07/05/102138372.pdf

            The Riverdale–Spuyten Duyvil–Kingsbridge Memorial Bell Tower  aka (The Riverdale Monument) in 2006 –  I do know it was moved 7oo feet South from its original location during the construction of the Henry Hudson Parkway.Riverdale Monument

                Did Riverside Drive extend to Riverdale at one time?  Article says 246 & Riverside Drive.  Interesting.
