Pots of Money




Kykuit, high above the Hudson, was built by the Rockerfellers in 1908.


What fun it would be to design a mansion with money no object at all! Putti all over the place and lamps by Tiffany, and Chinese import porcelain and a great deal of modern art. 


The study


the porch


an arch in the garden


the view over the original swimming pool


and across the private golf course.
