The Tudor-style main residence has a date stone of 1928, and it is surrounded by many support buildings and a farm complex.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the estate is significant for its distinctive architecture and its association with Jacob Ruppert, a prominent brewer, Yankees owner and congressman. The main residence is described as the most significant of its type in the area and remains intact. The many support and novelty buildings, including the barn complex that recreates an English village, add to its architectural importance.","narrative":"Eagle's Rest is a large estate above the Hudson River in Garrison, Putnam County, built up by brewer and Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert. His main residence, dated 1928, is a two-story Tudor-style house of cut granite with limestone trim, a slate roof, leaded casement windows and a crenellated bay. It replaced an older mansion. Around it stand a stone and stucco garage, a superintendent's house and a separate farm of 26 structures. The farm buildings include a horse and cow barn, dairy, power house, windmill and many ornate bird houses, arranged with stone walls like an English village. Ruppert also kept monkeys, apes and rare birds here. Construction continued until the year before his death in 1939. The estate was vacant until 1944, when it was sold to the Greek Archdiocese and became St. Basil's Academy. It is notable for its intact main house, its unusual support buildings and its link to Ruppert.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Tudor (described elsewhere in the form as Gothic Revival); early 20th century residential and estate support architecture","criteria":[],"status_note":"After Ruppert's death in 1939 the estate stood vacant until 1944, then was sold to the Greek Archdiocese.
