 Perhaps as John Jay McKelvey intended, Villa Brontë stands perched as a witness with dual vision—an eye toward the future unknown and an eye regarding preservation.By strategically using realty law, commercial contracts, and corporation law, McKelvey created beautiful living, benefiting ensuing generations.Through McKelvey's further legal engagement, he instrumentally developed Henry Hudson Monument, Along the Hudson Park, and Edgehill Terraces as part of the Spuyten Duyvil or Riverdale District, New York.
