Lauder Greenway Estate, French Renaissance mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut
Lauder Greenway Estate is a French Renaissance mansion located on Indian Field Road in Greenwich, Connecticut. The four-story main house has 12 bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a stone carriage house, greenhouses, and a multi-car garage on the grounds.
Industrialist John Hamilton Gourlie had the estate built in 1896. It passed to Dr. James C. Greenway and Harriet Lauder Greenway in 1905, and the name they gave it has remained ever since.
The estate carries the name of the family that owned it longest, and that name has stuck in local memory ever since. The formal dining rooms and carved wood paneling inside reflect how wealthy families of that era used their homes as a stage for social gatherings.
The property is privately owned and not open to visitors, so there is no way to enter the building or the grounds. Those walking through the neighborhood can catch a view of the exterior from the road and explore the nearby waterfront on foot.
The grounds back onto about a mile (roughly 1.6 km) of waterfront along Long Island Sound, with a private beach tucked at the bottom. Wooden stairs descend from the property to the shore, making the connection to the water nearly invisible from the road.
