I don't know..see another Gristmill run by slaves or Kykuit?

Kykuit it is.  John D. Rockefeller oil tycoon.  The palisades and Hudson River were the shining star for the view.  House very traditional and not overdone.  Art work mostly beautiful statues and modern and abstract. Gardens and terraces were beautiful. Lovely afternoon, this house after a self guided tour of Sleepy Hollow cemetery.

The cemetery has interesting final residents and it was fun to go on a scavenger hunt to find each one. Washington Irving did well. Years agoI bought a copy of Sleepy Hollow illustrated signed by the artist Will Moses for the children to keep as an heirloom. Yes I bought three.

This one of the walkways on the Kykuit estate. By the way that sculpture at the end is made out of pink granite. (An inside joke) 😁
