Villa Loretto, Historic residential building in Peekskill, New York, US.

Villa Loretto is a three-story H-shaped building situated on an 18-acre property in Westchester County. The structure has been transformed into residential condominiums now called Villa at the Woods.

The Sisters of the Good Shepherd built Villa Loretto in 1928 to provide housing and support services for young women. The facility closed in 1975 and was later adapted for new purposes.

The name Villa Loretto reflects the religious mission tied to the building's original purpose. Visitors can still notice architectural details that speak to this spiritual heritage when walking through the property.

The property is now residential with individual units in a historical building. Keep in mind that this is private property and only certain areas may be accessible to visitors.

Architect Frank J. Murphy designed the complex blending institutional and residential architectural elements in a way that was unconventional for the time. This combination shows how the designers wanted to merge community services with residential comfort.
