Rose Hill Mansion, Greek Revival mansion in Fayette, New York.
The mansion features six Ionic columns supporting a pedimented gable, with symmetrical wings creating a U-shaped structure overlooking Seneca Lake.
William Kerley Strong, a New York City merchant, commissioned the construction of this residence in 1839, following architectural influences from Minard Lafever and Andrew Downing.
The mansion displays Empire style furnishings across twenty restored rooms, representing the interior design preferences of wealthy New York families from 1820 to 1850.
Guided tours of Rose Hill Mansion operate from May through October, allowing visitors to explore the house museum and learn about 19th-century farm life.
The property functioned as a scientific farming enterprise under Robert Swan, who implemented drainage tile technology to increase agricultural productivity in the 1850s.
