Dunn & Tighe Organizes Lecture on Luxurious Holland & Sherry Textiles at Bronxville Library

Jul. 2, 2014: Bryan Dicker, president of Holland & Sherry, spoke last Tuesday at the Bronxville Public Library about the history of the 180-year-old menswear company and its successful evolution into the interior design world. He was introduced by Annabelle Murphy, Bronxville High School graduate of 2006, who is now an associate designer at Dunn & Tighe, a 17-year-old Bronxville interior design firm. 

Dicker, a chemistry major from the University of Virginia, founded Holland & Sherry Interiors 15 years ago, and this adjunct company is known for luxurious textiles, custom embroidery, rugs, wall coverings, leather, and handcrafted accessories. The lecture and question period were followed by a reception where attendees roamed through the hundreds of Holland & Sherry samples that were on display. 

This public lecture was brought to the community by Dunn & Tighe Interiors as the first in a series titled Inspired Design.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
