John Thompson House, Victorian residence in Highland, New York.
The John Thompson House features broad verandas, a Belvedere tower, and ornate plaster decorations across its three-level structure near the Hudson River.
Built between 1854 and 1858, this residence belonged to John Thompson, who established the First National Bank of New York and later founded Chase National Bank.
The house design reflects Victorian Italianate architecture influenced by American landscape designer Andrew Jackson Downing's principles of country living.
The property contains sixteen rooms with twelve-foot-high ceilings on the first floor, multiple gardens, and additional structures including a stone barn.
Five generations of the Thompson family lived in this house from 1851 to 1957, maintaining extensive grounds with bridle paths and garden celebrations.
