The great estates of the Hudson River Valley offer some of the finest examples of grand-scale nineteenth-century American architecture and landscape design. The houses, built by the leading architects of the day, were country retreats for Roosevelts, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts and Astors, among other illustrious families. With glorious river views, grounds that sprawl over hundreds of acres, most of the estates have become popular tourist attractions, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
In addition to selected archival images, the book offers stunning contemporary colour photographs, including many new aerial photographs of the estates.
An introduction by architectural historian Michael Dwyer provides an insight into the beauty and importance of the houses and their grounds.
