Hyde Park, NY
When Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt bought the Hyde Park estate in 1895, they enlarged the extant building to it's current size with help from architects McKim, Mead + White. Celebrated as a "remarkably complete example of a guilded-age country place," this estate eventually grew to include what was known as the Sexton Tract, including a gardeners cottage, a boat house, a creamery, the Sexton barn, and an orchard. The latter part of the estate was eventually sold privately, and the initial part of the property became a National Historic Site in 1940.
