Overlooking the Hudson River in Tarrytown, New York, is Lyndhurst. Designed in 1838 by A.J. Davis, it is one of America’s finest Gothic Revival mansions. Visit www.lyndhurst.org for more information.
Lyndhurst, one of America’s finest Gothic Revival mansions, was designed in 1838 by Alexander Jackson Davis. Its architectural brilliance is complemented by the park-like landscape of the estate and a comprehensive collection of original decorative arts. Its noteworthy occupants included: former New York City mayor William Paulding, merchant George Merritt, and railroad tycoon Jay Gould.
The estate was shaped during more than a century by these three families. Now, Lyndhurst invites you to explore the evolution of American identity and taste through our guided tours of 19 elaborately decorated rooms in the mansion interior.
Lyndhurst also offers special tours that explore unique spaces like the recently restored bowling alley, majestic landscape, kitchens, laundry room, and observation tower overlooking widest part of the lower Hudson River to Manhattan.
