Vibrant Whitestone has a long history as a desirable place to live. It may have been named for the White Stone Chapel built in 1837 or for a pale rock at the convergence of the Long Island Sound and East River. Its historic architecture includes one of the few 18th century buildings still standing in Queens, the Colden-Wesson mansion across from Francis Lewis Park on 147th Street. During his stint as governor of the state, it was named Clintonville, for powerhouse New York politician DeWitt Clinton. Clinton had a summer house in Whitestone. Among other high posts, he served as mayor of New York City from 1803-1815. Poet Walt Whitman lived in Whitestone in the 1840s and immortalized it in verse. In the 1920s, stars including Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford resided here. Prime Residential Properties in Northeastern Queens The neighborhood retains historic buildings and an upscale charm.
