Le Chateau

High on a hillside in South Salem, New York, Le Château was commissioned by J.P. Morgan in 1907 as a gift for his pastor and friend, the Rev. William S. Rainsford. Originally called Savin Rock, the country retreat was designed by Atterbury & Atterbury, prominent architects of the day.


Today the facility is a high end event venue, hosting weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, 
corporate events and more.

From your photo I can see he was influenced by the Prairie Style. A most impressive building.

Me ha encantado la parte exterior del edificio. Supongo que su interior lucirá bastante bien, cuando lo utilizan para banquetes de bodas u otras celebraciones.
