Greg & Katherine’s Lyndhurst Mansion Experience
Lyndhurst的点评
点评：The Lyndhurst Mansion, also known as the Jay Gould Estate, is a gorgeously designed Gothic Revival style mansion, and one of the most beloved and iconic destination of New York.
Located in Tarrytown, New York, the Lyndhurst Mansion was fully constructed in 1838 and designed by well-acclaimed American architect, Alexander Jackson Davis. Alexander’s use of the Gothic Revival design is evident in the mansion’s pointed arches, soaring towers, its stained glass windows, and its vaulted and ornate ceilings.
Despite its lengthy existence, the mansion was only occupied by 3 different families during the years 1838 to 1961. It was first owned and occupied by William Pauling Jr, a former United States representative and former mayor of New York City. Pauling Jr. worked closely with Alexander to build and design Lyndhurst and lived at the mansion with his wife from 1838 to the early 1850’s.
George Merritt, a successful dry goods merchant in New York was the mansion’s 2nd owner. Merritt worked with Alexander to double the size of the mansion and added a new dining room, additional bedrooms and the servants’s quarters. Merritt also named the mansion LyndenHurst, as an homage to the linden trees that he added to the estate.
The last owners of the mansion were the Goulds. The Goulds are a wealthy American family and they occupied Lyndhurst from 1880 to 1961. Jay Gould, the patriarch of the Gould family purchased the estate in 1880 and shortened the name of LyndenHurst to Lyndhurst. Gould was a highly successful railroad magnate and one of the wealthiest figures of the nineteenth Century.
After Jay Gould’s death in 1892, Lyndhurst was owned and managed by his daughter, Helen Gould. Helen was a prominent American philanthropist and played a pivotal role on transforming Lyndhurst from a private estate to a community recreational center. This was reflected in her establishment of the Bowling Alley building, which was open to the public during its operation. She also opened a Kennel, which held a vocational school that was open to boys and girls and provided free training for sewing, carpentry and cooking. While these recreational activities have ceased and the buildings are now closed to the public, the buildings remain very much intact and can been seen when touring the estate.
After Helen Gould’s death, her sister Anna Gould took over the estate in the late 1930’s. Anna’s most notable action regarding the property was that she used the buildings to provide to convalescence for returning World War II soldiers. Upon Anna’s death in 1961, the Lyndhurst estate was given to the National Trust For Historic Preservation, whom continues to own and manage the property. The Lyndhurst estate is open to public for guided tours and many other community events.
Throughout the years, the Lyndhurst Mansion has been prominently featured in numerous films and television shows. Such examples include the films, “The Halloween That Almost Wasn’t,” and “the Winter’s Tale” the television show, “The Blacklist” and most recently, “The Gilded Age” a popular and critically acclaimed television series.
Due to its status as one the best preserved examples of 19th Century American decorative art, landscaping, and Gothic Revival style architecture, its notable occupants, and extensive transformation, the Lyndhurst Mansion is listed on the U.S. National Register Of Historic Places and has been designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
To celebrate the holiday season, I brought and treated my wife and myself for a visit to the Lyndhurst Mansion in December of 2025, and participated in the guided “Holiday Mansion Tour” Both my wife and I very much enjoyed our guided tour experience!!!
We both enjoyed viewing the beauty and elegant design of Lyndhurst Mansion and were in awe of its stunning facade and luxurious interior settings. Our tour guide was the absolute best because he was comical, witty and very engaging with the tour’s guests. He did a fabulous job on addressing the development and history of the Lyndhurst, discussed the families that lived at the mansion, and their significant contributions to the estate.
Additionally, he guided us through the first and second floors of the mansion. He provided us with ample opportunity to view each room’s furnishings and art while also giving a concise overview of the room’s building materials and architectural design. What impressed my wife and myself were that the furnishings were well crafted, well preserved and were once that actual possessions of the 3 families that lived at the mansion. One of our favorite rooms was “Jay Gould’s office” which features an impressive portrait of Jay Gould, his personal effects, and the sole desk that he used when working at home and at his office in Manhattan. We also loved the 2nd Floor Gallery” which features magnificent works of art, a stunning Tiffany window and gorgeous chandeliers.
We were struck by the mansion’s heavy use of faux finishes. Our tour guide pointed out that illusion of opulence was considered fashionable by the upperclass during the Gilded Age, and that the owners of the mansion would use painted plaster or wood for their walls, windows and ceilings to resemble expensive marble or stone. The use of such materials certainly doesn’t take away from the beauty and craftsmanship of these furnishings.
Last but certainly not least, my wife and I absolutely loved the Christmas decorations that were spread throughout mansion and the estate. We found the Christmas trees and lights to be superbly decorated and unquestionably breathtaking!!! We also enjoyed visiting and shopping at the Lyndhurst Gift Shop, and taking pictures of the estate’s marvelous landscape and spectacular views of the Hudson River!!!
If you are passionate about art and history, would enjoy touring an enchanted castle and exploring a picturesque landscape, whether it be during the Holiday season or any time of the year, then definitely make sure to visit the Lyndhurst Mansion, a truly outstanding historic destination!!!

翻译：林德赫斯特庄园（Lyndhurst Mansion），又名杰伊·古尔德庄园（Jay Gould Estate），是一座设计精美的哥特复兴式豪宅，也是纽约最受喜爱和最具标志性的景点之一。
林德赫斯特庄园位于纽约州塔里敦，始建于1838年，由美国著名建筑师亚历山大·杰克逊·戴维斯（Alexander Jackson Davis）设计。庄园的尖拱、高耸的塔楼、彩色玻璃窗以及拱形华丽的天花板，都充分体现了亚历山大对哥特复兴式设计的运用。
尽管历史悠久，但在1838年至1961年间，这座庄园仅由三个不同的家族拥有。它的第一位主人是威廉·保林二世（William Pauling Jr.），他曾任美国众议员和纽约市市长。保林二世与亚历山大密切合作，共同建造和设计了林德赫斯特庄园，并于1838年至19世纪50年代初与妻子居住于此。
乔治·梅里特是纽约一位成功的干货商人，也是这座宅邸的第二任主人。他与亚历山大合作，将宅邸的面积扩大了一倍，并增建了新的餐厅、卧室和佣人房。梅里特还将宅邸命名为林登赫斯特（LyndenHurst），以纪念他为庄园增添的菩提树。
宅邸的最后一任主人是古尔德家族。古尔德家族是美国的富裕家族，他们从1880年到1961年一直居住在林登赫斯特。古尔德家族的族长杰伊·古尔德于1880年购入了这座庄园，并将林登赫斯特简化为林登赫斯特。古尔德是一位非常成功的铁路大亨，也是19世纪最富有的人物之一。
杰伊·古尔德于1892年去世后，林德赫斯特庄园由他的女儿海伦·古尔德所有并管理。海伦是一位杰出的美国慈善家，她在将林德赫斯特从私人庄园转型为社区休闲中心的过程中发挥了关键作用。她建造的保龄球馆便是这一转变的体现，该保龄球馆在运营期间向公众开放。她还开办了一家犬舍，犬舍内设有一所职业学校，面向男孩和女孩开放，提供免费的缝纫、木工和烹饪培训。虽然这些休闲活动已经停止，建筑也已不对公众开放，但建筑本身仍然保存完好，游客在参观庄园时仍可一睹其风采。
海伦·古尔德去世后，她的妹妹安娜·古尔德于20世纪30年代末接管了庄园。安娜对庄园最显著的贡献是，她利用这些建筑为二战归来的士兵提供疗养场所。安娜于1961年去世后，林德赫斯特庄园被捐赠给了国家历史保护信托基金会，该基金会至今仍拥有并管理着这座庄园。林德赫斯特庄园对外开放，提供导览服务，并举办众多社区活动。
多年来，林德赫斯特庄园在众多电影和电视剧中频频亮相。例如，电影《差点没过的万圣节》（The Halloween That Almost Wasn’t）和《冬日奇缘》（The Winter’s Tale），电视剧《黑名单》（The Blacklist），以及最近广受欢迎且备受好评的电视剧《镀金时代》（The Gilded Age）。
由于其作为保存最完好的19世纪美国装饰艺术、园林景观和哥特复兴式建筑的典范之一，以及其著名的居住者和大规模的改造，林德赫斯特庄园已被列入美国国家史迹名录，并被指定为美国国家历史地标。
为了庆祝节日，我带妻子和我自己于2025年12月参观了林德赫斯特庄园，并参加了“假日庄园之旅”导览。我和妻子都非常享受这次导览体验！
我们都被林德赫斯特庄园的美丽和优雅设计所深深吸引，其令人惊叹的外观和奢华的内部装潢更是让我们叹为观止。我们的导游非常出色，他风趣幽默，与游客互动频繁。他精彩地讲解了林德赫斯特庄园的发展历程和历史，介绍了曾居住于此的家族及其对庄园的重大贡献。
此外，他还带领我们参观了庄园的一楼和二楼。他让我们有充足的时间欣赏每个房间的家具和艺术品，并简要介绍了房间的建筑材料和设计理念。我和妻子印象最深刻的是，屋内的家具做工精良，保存完好，而且都是曾经居住在这座宅邸的三户人家的真正物件。我们最喜欢的房间之一是“杰伊·古尔德的办公室”，里面挂着一幅杰伊·古尔德的精美肖像，摆放着他的个人物品，以及他在家和曼哈顿办公室工作时使用的唯一一张办公桌。我们也很喜欢“二楼画廊”，那里陈列着精美的艺术品、一扇令人惊艳的蒂芙尼彩绘玻璃窗和华丽的枝形吊灯。
宅邸大量运用仿古饰面也给我们留下了深刻的印象。我们的导游指出，镀金时代上流社会崇尚营造奢华的假象，因此这座宅邸的主人会用彩绘石膏或木材来装饰墙壁、窗户和天花板，使其看起来像昂贵的大理石或石材。当然，使用这些材料丝毫没有影响这些家具的精美和精湛工艺。
最后，我和妻子非常喜欢遍布宅邸和庄园的圣诞装饰。我们觉得圣诞树和彩灯装饰得美轮美奂，令人叹为观止！我们还兴致勃勃地参观了林德赫斯特礼品店，并拍摄了庄园迷人的景色和壮丽的哈德逊河风光！
如果您热爱艺术和历史，喜欢参观一座充满魅力的城堡，探索风景如画的自然风光，无论是在节日期间还是一年中的任何时候，都一定要去参观林德赫斯特宅邸，这绝对是一处杰出的历史名胜！
