"For over 300 years the banks of the majestic Hudson River have served as a spectacular setting for an architecture of imposing villas and grand estates. Hudson River Villas documents 123 of these residences built between New York City and Albany, many by distinguished architects and famous owners. Among the villas featured are such well-known landmarks as Frederic Church's Olana, the Vanderbilt Mansion designed by McKim, Mead & White, and Bannerman's Castle on Pollepel Island, a residence that doubled as an arsenal in its day. Other less familiar but likewise impressive edifices attest to the rich and eclectic architectural heritage of the region. Ranging in style from the sturdy and simple functionalism of the first Dutch colonial manors through the temples and castles of the Greek and Gothic revivals to the lavish mansions of the Beaux-Arts, the homes illustrated reflect the developing history, economy, and social aspirations of an important sector of this country. The authors present each of the houses through text and pictures and also provide a useful introduction, a glossary of the major architects who worked in the region, and a selected bibliography. The illustrations, culled from both contemporary and historical sources, include plentiful color and vintage photographs, engravings, and architectural drawings." - from the inner front jacket flap.
