Century Houses

The goal of the Irvington Community Association's Mary and Smith Piper Century House Program is to:

• raise awareness for neighborhood architectural history

• pay tribute to Mary and Smith Piper - honoring the Pipers' tireless efforts to create the Irvington Historic District as well as their many years of service to the Irvington Community

• show support for the preservation principle that the "greenest" building is the one that is already built

• give you a great excuse to hold a centennial birthday party
