Tarrytown, New York
Conservation and adaptation of the 1865/1880 Carriage House/Stable Complex into a Visitors Orientation Center, carriage display and catering facility, construction of a new Service Building using precedents found at the Wagon Shed to house the relocated Carpentry Shop and documentation of the free-standing 1894 Bowling Alley and the 1911 Swimming Pool Buildings in a Historic American Buildings Survey format.
Lyndhurst, a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is a 19th century estate overlooking the Hudson River shaped by the Paulding, Merritt and Gould families, between 1838 and 1961. The main house and the Carriage House Stable were designed by Alexander Jackson Davis, one of America’s most influential architects, in a Gothic Style set in picturesque landscape with numerous outbuildings.
