Then I googled &#8220;Zabriskie mansion&#8221; and the light went on.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;In 1899 Captain Andrew C. Zabriskie, a cattle breeder, numismatist, and antiquarian, purchased the estate and retained Francis Hoppin, an alumnus of the architectural firm McKim, Mead &amp; White, to design a manor house and garden. Hoppin produced a house in an eclectic, grand style, blending architectural and decorative elements from centuries of English mansion design with the latest turn-of-the-century technology. Captain Zabriskie&#8217;s son donated the estate to Bard College in 1951.&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.levyinstitute.org\/about\/blithewood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Levy Institute\/Bard College<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0\u00a0Click <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=red+hook+ny&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=42.020813,-73.917421&amp;spn=0.004479,0.009645&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=39.047881,79.013672&amp;vpsrc=6&amp;hnear=Red+Hook,+Dutchess,+New+York&amp;t=h&amp;z=17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here <\/a>for Google maps to see exactly where it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Zabriskie Mansion&#8221; November 23rd, 1942 by John Losee This photo was taken of the mansion in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY while it &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/2011\/12\/blithewood\/\">Continue reading &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,3],"tags":[123,124,122,37,10,8,48],"class_list":["post-350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-20th-century","category-color-slides","tag-annandale","tag-bard","tag-blithewood","tag-john-losee","tag-kodachrome","tag-photography","tag-red-hook"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":984,"href":"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350\/revisions\/984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/44parkave.com\/holdernewt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
