Brecknock Hall, Historic mansion in Suffolk County, New York.
The two-and-a-half-story residence features square cut ashlar stone construction with a central projecting gable and a roof-mounted cupola.
David Gelston Floyd, grandson of Declaration of Independence signatory William Floyd, constructed this stone mansion in 1857 as his family residence.
The mansion exemplifies Renaissance Revival architecture through its symmetrical design, stone craftsmanship, and incorporation of period-specific architectural elements.
The property spans 144 acres and includes facilities for events, including interior reception rooms, outdoor spaces for tented gatherings, and dedicated preparation areas.
The building materials include glacial stones quarried directly from the north portion of the property and transported by oxen to the construction site.
