Seguine Mansion, Greek Revival mansion in Staten Island, United States.
The Seguine Mansion is a Greek Revival residence located on Staten Island with tall columns, ornamental moldings, and expansive windows characteristic of 1830s American residential architecture. The structure sits on grounds that once contained outbuildings and landscape features supporting the estate's original operations.
Joseph H. Seguine built this residence in 1838 while developing multiple business ventures including the Staten Island Railroad. The property reflects the era when successful merchants and entrepreneurs constructed grand homes as centers for their business and social operations.
The mansion displays how wealthy families lived in the 1800s through its preserved furnishings and rooms arranged as they were in daily use. Visitors can observe the personal objects and spaces that shaped the daily routines of its inhabitants.
The site is accessible to visitors and guided tours can be arranged through local preservations groups. The property offers parking and is reachable by public transit, with spring and summer months providing the most pleasant conditions for walking the grounds.
George Burke rescued the property from neglect in 1981 and developed an equestrian facility on the grounds before transferring it to New York City. His preservation efforts prevented the loss of an important architectural landmark in the borough.
