| A designated historic district, Tuxedo Park retains a number of significant residences, some of which date from 1886, and exemplify nearly every important style of American domestic architecture. Bruce Price, a famous turn of the century architect, under the direction of Pierre Lorillard, and with a crew of 1800 immigrant laborers, in eight months yielded 30 miles of roads bordered by possibly some of the most spectacularly beautiful stone walls to be seen today. Lorillard encouraged Price to exploit the rough materials found in the area and to subordinate the design of the residences in the natural beauty of the environment. The most popular styles of contemporary architecture were built in Tuxedo Park in the 1890’s. Structures in the Tudor Revival, Spanish Mission, Georgian, Jacobean, Gothic Revival, Queen Anne and Dutch Colonial Revival are all represented. |

In 1885-86, Pierre Lorillard IV created his breathtakingly
beautiful sportsman’s preserve out of a mountain
wilderness. It is an enclave of mansions and beautifully
designed homes by the best-known architects of the day,
clustered around three sparkling lakes beneath the lovely
Ramapo Mountains. All this, and less than an hour’s drive
from New York City.

“A place where a man who has to work in New York City may live year round, where there is the highest
altitude for the least number of miles from town, a place where little children may be allowed to run at large
in safety. In other words, as a beautiful place of permanent homes, Tuxedo Park is as ideal as can be found”

The roads wind through 2,500 acres of
parkland, charming because of its
craggy, unspoiled beauty, intriguing in
this era of overcrowding and suburban
development, because of its spectacular
architecture and environmental planning.
Tuxedo Park is a well-preserved village
that lies peaceful and absolutely secure
beyond a manned gatehouse that insures
privacy, security and tranquility.
