The Rockville Tudor, Rockville Centre’s first four-story luxury apartment building and one of the first on Long Island to have an elevator, has reached a milestone of 85 years in the Village. Mayor Francis X. Murray will commemorated the special anniversary with current residents of the Tudor. Over its 85-year history, the Rockville Tudor has been home to prominent individuals and events. The Tudor served as a communications command center for the Rockville Centre Civil Defense Council throughout the war. The Tudor stood fast, providing peace of mind during this traumatic time. Following the war, The Tudor opened its doors to returning veterans giving them a chance to start anew. The Rockville Tudor Corporation embarked on a full-scale capital improvement plan to preserve and restore the historic integrity of the building for all shareholders and the Village, including the replacement of the roof and windows, restoration of the Tudor façade and installation of six new stained glass windows completing the original Twelve. The Corporation capped off over $2.5 million in capital improvements with lobby enhancements that restore the walls, ceilings, moldings and fireplace as well as replacing furniture to capture historic period significance and create a beautiful focal point for building residents and visitors.
