Lauder Greenway Estate, French Renaissance mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut
Lauder Greenway Estate is a French Renaissance mansion set on a 50-acre property in Greenwich, Connecticut. The four-story main residence spans approximately 15,000 square feet with 12 bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a stone carriage house, and additional outbuildings including greenhouses and a multi-car garage.
Industrialist John Hamilton Gourlie commissioned construction in 1896, and the property later passed to Dr. James C. Greenway and Harriet Lauder Greenway in 1905. This transition marked a shift in the estate's ownership and established its enduring name.
The estate reflects how wealthy American industrialists designed spaces for entertaining, using ornate dining rooms and rich wood paneling that conveyed their social standing.
The property sits on Indian Field Road and is privately owned, so interior access is not available to the public. The surrounding grounds and waterfront area offer outdoor exploration opportunities for those walking the neighborhood.
The estate commands roughly one mile of waterfront along Long Island Sound with a secluded private beach. Access descends via wooden stairs leading to the shore, creating a direct but hidden connection to the water.
