A Westchester Country House

I’ve never heard of nor seen this house before. Unfortunately NYPL titles it merely as “A Westchester County Country House”. Not very helpful. I wonder if it’s still around. I rather like it. It has a nice simple, warm, cozy feel to it.

UPDATE: John Massengale informs us: “This is a house by Harrie T. Lindeberg. There’s a monograph of his work here. I haven’t looked at the book in a long time, but this might be the Stillman house in Pocantico Hills. Stillman was married to a Rockefeller, and the house is on the Rockefeller land there.”

It is the Stillman house. The photo is on page 213 of the Lindeberg monograph; there are plans of the house on p. 212.

Unfortunately the house no longer exists. The estate was known as Mondanne. James Stillman and his wife Anne built it. It was called “Mondanne”
