Glen Tonche, Tudor mansion in Catskill Mountains, United States.
Glen Tonche is a mansion situated at the summit of Mount Tonche in the Catskill Mountains, with views overlooking the Ashokan Reservoir. The building features two main wings connected by a covered passage, with extensive floor-to-ceiling windows throughout and spans approximately 18,740 square feet.
The mansion was built in 1928 as a summer residence for Raymond Pitcairn, a businessman whose family founded PPG Industries. It later became a center for artistic creation after being repurposed in 1999.
The property operates as Allaire Studios, serving musicians and artists who have worked on recordings and creative projects within its walls since 1999. The space draws people from the music and arts world to create here.
The south wing contains a dining hall that can accommodate over 100 guests for gatherings. The north wing features spacious rooms with vaulted ceilings designed for events and group activities.
The building makes striking use of its elevated location with expansive windows that frame the surrounding landscape as part of the interior experience. A renovation in 2002 added facilities specifically designed to support large recording sessions and artistic work.
