    James D. Sherwood, a Putnam County real estate broker who began as a carpenter in the city and later commuted from Peekskill, built this three-story Greek Revival house with an attic on the rear of two Bedford Street lots. It was one of four properties he owned on Leroy Street, and he kept them until he died in 1907. The house is still a single-family home.
