This page was started by and
now dedicated to Richie Stark, a resident of Piermont from 1975
to the time of his passing on Sept 26th, 2022.
He was a rebelrouser, troublemaker
and one great guy that would help anyone, any time. He loved
the Hudson River and all that it had to offer.
On his passing he donated his entire
estate to a number of charities including Planned Parenthood
and Habitat for Humanity. His only wish was that whoever purchased
his house would restore it to its former grandeur. It was built
in 1835 by Eleazar Lord for his daughter, but while his castle
on the hill was being built Mr. Lord lived there. As of the sumer
of 2024 his wish appears to be coming true. Will keep this updated:
