Vanderbilt estate.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be an intact example of a late nineteenth-century country house tied to the Frederick W. Vanderbilt estate, designed by Charles F. McKim of McKim, Mead and White. The carriage house is a representative Tudor Revival estate outbuilding. Together they document architectural styles and building technology in Hyde Park around 1900.","narrative":"Perched on the edge of a rocky ledge with views west, this Hyde Park property includes a fieldstone mansion built in 1896 and a Tudor-style carriage house added in 1901. Frederick W. Vanderbilt had the house built for his nephew, Thomas H. Howard, who chose the site himself and called the home the \"Craigs.\" Charles F. McKim of McKim, Mead and White designed it as part of the complex of buildings on the Vanderbilt estate. The house is modest beside the grand Vanderbilt Mansion, combining local fieldstone, shingled gables and dormers, a Dutch front door and Colonial Revival mantels. The carriage house has half-timbering, pebble stucco, a steep cross-gable roof and a polygonal bay. Its architect is unknown, though it resembles the Vanderbilt Coach House. It was built by Cregan and Collins and later converted to a home. The property was separated from the estate after Vanderbilt's death in 1938 and is listed for its architecture and integrity.","period_of_significance":"1896-1901","architect_builder":"McKim, Charles F., Architect (Howard Mansion); carriage house architect unknown, built by Cregan and Collins of Morrison, New Jersey","architectural_style":"Late Victorian, Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals (eclectic house with Shingle style influence; Tudor Revival carriage house)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Both buildings are in residential use.
