William E. Dodge House
William E. Dodge House, 1863 Gothic Revival residence in Riverdale, The Bronx, US.
The William E. Dodge House is a two and a half story stone structure in Riverdale featuring Gothic Revival design elements that reflect 19th century architectural interests. The property sits on less than one acre and retains its original architectural character.
Architect James Renwick Jr. designed this summer house in 1863 for copper industrialist William E. Dodge Jr., who converted it into a year-round residence in 1892. The property received National Register listing in 1977.
The house functions as a gathering place operated by Teachers College of Columbia University. Its role as a conference center shapes how visitors experience and use the property today.
The house is located at 690 West 247th Street in the Hudson Hill section of The Bronx and now operates as a conference center for Teachers College. Visitors should expect limited access since it functions as an active institutional facility.
The property formally became the Greyston Conference Center of Teachers College Columbia University through a dedication ceremony in 1963, transforming it from a private home into an academic gathering space. This conversion demonstrates how historic houses can serve new institutional purposes.
