"The Malloy’s Building” in Stony Point, NY
DO NOT DESTROY our local history in Stony Point, but instead, BUILD local economic plans for our town.
We the undersigned STRONGLY OPPOSE the unnecessarydemolition of the "MALLOY'S BUILDING" by the NYS Department ofTransportation and PETITION the SUPERVISOR and TOWN BOARD of the TOWN OF STONY POINT to IMMEDIATELY STOP THIS UNNECESSARY DEMOLITION that will DESTROY the center of the Town of Stony Point, a beloved historic landmark in our community and cause us to lose needed economic development opportunities and tax revenue for the town and its residents.
1. The Malloy's Building is a local, historic landmark that has always welcomed visitors and created a Town Center feeling in Stony Point – originally built in the 1860s, it operated for a time as town hall. The building was extensively renovated in 1998 and is sound and capable of re-use today.
2. Due to public outcry, the NYSDOT had revised its original plans and agreed to SAVE THE MALLOY'S BUILDING, finish the new bridge and add necessary turning lanes to the intersection – all WITHOUT DEMOLITION of the MALLOY'S BUILDING. However, in 2008, the previous town supervisor and town board rejected the NYSDOT revised plan.
3. The US Gypsum Plant has since closed its facility in 2010. Kennedy trucks no longer drive through the intersection, eliminating one of the main reasons for the enlarged intersection.
4. The Town of Stony Point needs TAX RATABLES – not a small park in the middle of our prime business district with other parks nearby.
5. The MALLOY'S BUILDING is a tax ratable – containing 4 businesses and 4 apartments that had paid $40,000 per year in combined town, county and school taxes – revenue that is now lost.
6. The Town of Stony Point master plan calls for the town to develop local economic development plans for Stony Point that builds on tourism, our location in the Hudson Valley and on local historic buildings and places – not demolish them!
THEREFORE, as residents of the Town of Stony Point AND as residents of Rockland County who value the small town appeal of Main Street, Stony Point and the need to recognize and preserve our local buildings, which represent the character and heritage of our community, we STRONGLY REQUEST that the Stony Point Supervisor and Town Board IMMEDIATELY DEMAND THE NYSDOT STOP ANY PLANS TO DEMOLISH THE MALLOY'S BUILDING and SIMULTANEOUSLY BEGIN a COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN that will find a suitable reuse for this historic building to help generate local economic development and restore THE MALLOY'S BUILDING to the landmark status that it has always been in the Town of Stony Point.

I truly never imagined that two hundred and fifty people would care about this building as much as I do. It is overwhelming to see this kind of response for a piece of history I love so much. This belongs to all of you who decided to get involved.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about the Malloy's building. This is entirely your doing and seeing this level of interest truly catches me off guard. If you can help get us to the next milestone, it would show the board that this community is united on the issue.

I really started this because I couldn't bear to see our history torn down and I am genuinely overwhelmed by how many of you feel the same way. Behind the scenes I have been reaching out to local offices to ask for a sit down regarding these plans. Your input has been the real engine behind this and I am just doing my best to hold the steering wheel.

This building is the heart of stony point. If they tear it down we lose all the character of our little town. Enough with the demolition already.
PLEASE DONT DESTROY IT. It looks so nice after they fixed it up in the 90s.
Why do they always want to destroy history for a road project that nobody even asked for? So tired of these bad decisions by the board.
Stony Point is losing all its charm. Once its gone you cant get it back. Just leave the building alone.
I grew up right down the street. My grandfather used to talk about how important that place was back in the day. Keep it standing.

To the great memories of an era of those who passed by or entered this building to visit the pharmacy. It is a shame today to lose any genuinely old wood building.
