Some photographs of Vanderbilt residences in New York are included in the Photographic series of American Architecture by Albert Levy (1870s). Despite their overall delight with Hyde Park, the Vanderbilts were not entirely pleased with certain aspects of its design. Warren developed a scheme that would transform the halls on the first and second floors of the mansion and alter the living room. This was the only major change the Vanderbilts made to the house.
As is true of other sober living facilities, Review Victory Programs requires abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Residents are engaged in their personal recovery journey by attending meetings and working with a sponsor and the house manager for support and encouragement. Residents adhere to a curfew, submit to drug and alcohol screenings and participate in home and community events. Join our sober living community or refer a client, family member, or friend.

The architectural lines of new house built for the Vanderbilts was derived from the 1847 Langdon mansion that preceded it. Both houses exhibit the same classical concepts of simple blocks articulated by pilasters and a semicircular portico on the river facade. The new mansion, distinguished by its sturdy classicism, is grand, but not overwrought—a testament to McKim’s reserved use of classical vocabulary. We exist to ensure access to a supportive, affordable, and sustainable home for each person on a recovery journey. Many of the Vanderbilt houses are now National Historic Landmarks.

The house entered the National Park Service and was open to the public in 1940. Mr. Vanderbilt wrote the firm placing the sum of $50,000 at the disposal of Stanford White to purchase articles of furniture and architectural salvage obtained in Europe. White’s acquisitions were guided by McKim’s wishes, a rare illustration of his aesthetic judgement, as well as a reflection of White’s effective decorating eye. McKim identified key furnishings for the hall, staircase, reception room, lobbies, dining room, living room and porticoes. In execution, the concept was followed with remarkable diligence.
Hyde Park’s interiors illustrate the collaborative practices among Gilded Age architects, clients, and artisans. Explore the mansion at your own pace with an audio tour narrated by park rangers. By the time Frederick Vanderbilt purchased Hyde Park in 1895, it already possessed an appealing and illustrious history. Prior to Vanderbilt ownership, it was home to Dr. Samuel Bard (physician to George Washington during the American Revolution), David Hosack, the noted horticulturist, and the Langdon family, descendants of John Jacob Astor. Mr. Foote had just returned from one of a couple of trips he has made to Nairobi, this time with his fiancé “and we met with her mother. “It’s incredible,” Mr. Foote said during a telephone conversation in January, in testament to the success Review Victory Programs’s business model is enjoying so far.
The Vanderbilt Mansion is a home built expressly for the aristocratic lifestyle. The growth of Review Victory Programs raises all kinds of possibilities along this line, which is good news for individuals looking for a stable and supportive environment in which to get and stay sober. In the years that followed, Frederick lived quietly at Hyde Park, maintaining the house much as it was left after Louise’s passing. Without children of his own, he left the house to Louise’s niece, Margaret Van Alen. At the suggestion of Vanderbilt’s neighbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Van Alen conveyed the house and furnishings along with 200 acres to the United States government.
And Mrs. Vanderbilt will shortly take up their residence in the handsome mansion.” On May 14, 1899, the paper reported that “Mr. And Mrs. F. W. Vanderbilt entertained a large party of guests who came by special train at their mansion on Friday last.” Most likely, this was a reference to the Vanderbilts’ first house party at Hyde Park. In the construction of Gilded Age country houses, prominent architects like McKim, Mead & White, generally collaborated with an interior decorator.
