EDITORS COMMENTS
Westbury House, located on the verdant grounds of Old Westbury Gardens in Long Island, New York, is a breathtaking example of Carolean Revival architecture. Circa 1904, this magnificent mansion was the proud possession of businessman John Shaffer Phipps, who inherited the family fortune of Henry Phipps, a renowned steel magnate. The estate's grandeur is a testament to Phipps' success and his appreciation for the opulent design sensibilities of the 17th century. Heavily designed by George Abraham Crawley, a prominent architect of the time, Westbury House boasts intricate details that reflect the elegance and sophistication of the Carolean era. The exterior is adorned with ornate stonework, tall chimneys, and large arched windows, all framed by lush greenery and colorful gardens. The symmetrical facade, with its central portico supported by Doric columns, exudes a sense of balance and harmony. John Shaffer Phipps' vision for his estate was to create a sanctuary where he could retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. The result is a stunning architectural masterpiece that has stood the test of time, continuing to inspire awe and admiration from visitors to this day. The grounds of Old Westbury Gardens, with their beautiful gardens and various architectural wonders, offer a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Gilded Age, making it a must-visit destination for history and architecture enthusiasts alike.
