Wilderstein

Fodor's Review:

The grand, Queen Anne-style Victorian home with a dramatic five-story circular tower was owned by the Suckley family for more than 140 years. The last family member to occupy the estate was Margaret "Daisy" Suckley, a distant cousin of Franklin Delano Roosevelt; she assisted the president with his papers and was considered a close companion of his. The house, with main-floor interiors and stained-glass windows designed by J. B. Tiffany, is being restored in phases. Noted landscape architect Calvert Vaux designed the grounds, which have Hudson River views.
