Hurst-Pierrepont Estate, Historic estate in Garrison, United States.
The Hurst-Pierrepont Estate is a Gothic Revival mansion in Garrison featuring a two-story brick structure crowned by a four-story tower that rises above the surrounding landscape. The property includes a cow barn, carriage house, and other outbuildings that once served the working needs of the residence.
Prominent architect Alexander Jackson Davis designed the property for Edwards Pierrepont and completed the Gothic Revival residence in 1867. The house was built during a period when wealthy Americans increasingly looked to European design traditions for their country estates.
The estate reflects how wealthy New Yorkers of the 1800s embraced European architectural styles for their country homes. The Gothic design elements mixed with working farm buildings reveal the owner's blend of aesthetic ambition and rural practicality.
The property does not offer regular visiting hours, so arrange your visit in advance by contacting the administrators. Plan for limited access since the estate remains privately managed and viewing may be restricted to exterior areas or specific times.
The property was registered in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, formally recognizing its architectural importance. This designation marks it as a surviving example of 1800s residential design by one of America's most influential architects.
