Английская Википедия:Blairsden (house)
Blairsden is a historic Шаблон:Convert, 38-room mansion located in Peapack-Gladstone, New Jersey.[1] Set high on a hilltop overlooking Ravine Lake, the mansion is part of what was originally an estate of Шаблон:Convert.[2] In addition to its 38 rooms, the mansion has 25 fireplaces and 19 bathrooms.[3]
History
Blairsden was built between 1897 and 1903 for Clinton Ledyard Blair (1867–1949), an American investment banker. It was designed by the prominent architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings.[4] Blair spared no expense in building Blairsden, including leveling off the mountain, building a funicular to shuttle building materials and later guests up and down the terraced mountain and purchasing trees and shrubs aged 25-50 years old, as he did not wish "to wait for things to grow."[5] Blairsden also included a 300-ft reflecting pool decorated with a surround of busts of the Roman Emperors. The household employed a large staff of over 70 to support the household and grounds.[5]
Sisters of St. John the Baptist
After Blair's death in 1949, the mansion was sold to the Sisters of St. John the Baptist, who operated the house as a religious retreat.[6] In 2002, the Sisters of St. John the Baptist sold the property to the Foundation for Classical Architecture, owned by Victor Shafferman.[7][8]
Present day
The mansion was subsequently listed for sale and sold in 2012 for $4.5 million to a holding company named Blairsden Hall, LLC.[9] Local officials identified the new owner as T. Eric Galloway, a New York developer and president of the Galvan Foundation and the Lantern Organization.[3]
In May 2014, Blairsden was the site of the 2014 "Mansion in May" charity fundraiser designer show house and Gardens.[10] This designer show house was presented by the Women's Association of Morristown Medical Center, and it attracted over 33,000 visitors.[11]
The mansion was last sold in 2022 to 30 Blair PG, LLC, a subsidiary of Gladstone-based real estate private equity firm Melillo Equities.[12]
