NYFE Summary
Two towers and a slender turret give this former mansion an irregular outline. A wooden colonnade connects the main house with a later building. Its column tops replace familiar classical decoration with ears of corn and wheat.
Balconies, balustrades and deep cornices add detail around the walls. The building now serves as the park’s information center. It sits on a small hill near the western edge of the park.
