It is also an unusual example of a residence designed as a private art gallery, influenced by Isabella Stewart Gardner's Fenway Court. It was built for Louis Fiske and Charlotte Pruyn Hyde and reflects the taste of the locally prominent Pruyn family.","narrative":"Built in 1910-11 at 161 Warren Street in Glens Falls, this two-story stuccoed house was designed by Boston architect Henry Forbes Bigelow to resemble an Italian Renaissance palazzo. Louis Fiske Hyde and Charlotte Pruyn Hyde commissioned it as both a home and a private art gallery. Rooms surround an enclosed marble court lit by an oval skylight, and the interior uses natural light to display art. The street front is austere, with a recessed loggia between projecting end pavilions, while the garden side opens through an arcade of round-arched windows. Interior finishes include coffered oiled-wood ceilings, carved beams and wrought iron gates. The house is one of four Bigelow commissions in the city and was influenced by Isabella Stewart Gardner's Fenway Court in Boston. It formed part of a Pruyn family compound with the neighboring Hoopes and Cunningham houses, tied together by landscape plans from Brett and Hall of Boston. It now operates as a museum holding the Hyde Collection.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect Henry Forbes Bigelow; builder H.F.
