Mr. Vanderbilt wrote the firm placing the sum of $50,000 at the disposal of Stanford White to purchase articles of furniture and architectural salvage obtained in Europe.

Prior to Vanderbilt ownership, it was home to Dr. Samuel Bard (physician to George Washington during the American Revolution), David Hosack, the noted horticulturist, and the Langdon family, descendants of John Jacob Astor. The day-to-day workings of Chelsea’s House’s homes are governed by a handbook and house rules. The River Gate Lodge, situated among a verdant lawn at the park’s river entrance, welcomed guests arriving by train. Three Indiana Supreme Court justices and two Indiana Court of Appeals judges are up for retention this November, meaning voters will be asked to decide if they want them to stay put for another 10 years.

Despite their overall delight with Hyde Park, the Vanderbilts were not entirely pleased with certain aspects of its design. Warren developed a scheme that would transform the halls on the first and second floors of the mansion and alter the living room. The stately house designed for Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt at Hyde Park is an understated masterpiece of American design. Though members of elite, wealthy society, Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt lived graciously without spectacle. Typical of the grand estates along the Hudson River, life at Hyde Park was rooted in the pleasures of the outdoors and genteel agrarian pursuits.

White’s acquisitions were guided by McKim’s wishes, a rare illustration of his aesthetic judgement, as well as a reflection of White’s effective decorating eye. McKim identified key furnishings for the hall, staircase, reception room, lobbies, dining room, living room and porticoes. Herter Brothers would carry out the architectural decoration of the entrance vestibule, the elliptical hall and the dining room and A. Ogden Codman would design Louise Vanderbilt’s suite, and Georges Glaenzer would design Mr. Vanderbilt’s bedroom, his office, the den, and the reception room.

Chelsea’s House emerges as a pacesetter in sober living

  2. Prior to Vanderbilt ownership, it was home to Dr. Samuel Bard (physician to George Washington during the American Revolution), David Hosack, the noted horticulturist, and the Langdon family, descendants of John Jacob Astor.
  3. The Chamberlain Home in Southbridge is one of a number of sober living facilities Chelsea’s House owns and operates in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine.
  4. The houses, often overbearing in their display of opulence, are a stark contrast to the stately house architects McKim, Mead & White designed for Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt at Hyde Park—an understated masterpiece of American design.

House parties were leisurely and intimate, marked by games of golf or lawn tennis, carriage rides, and tea at neighboring estates. At Hyde Park, an extensive complex of greenhouses, formal gardens, and a model farm supplied flowers, produce, meats, and dairy for the Vanderbilt table wherever they were in residence.
