Notes
Historic Beaux Arts mansion located an hour from Manhattan. Built between 1897 and 1903, it was designed by the architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings, who also were responsible for the main branch of the New York Public Library and numerous other prominent structures. Set high on a hilltop overlooking Ravine Lake, the mansion is 62,000 square feet. The interiors, exterior, grounds and landscape architectural features are exceptional for their classical proportions and beauty of workmanship. Currently undergoing a meticulous restoration–a process which does not interfere with location shoots.
