It consists of four properties, two of which are of note: the 1820 manor house, built in a Greek Revival style and added onto in 1840[3] and a 1779 cottage known as The Chimneys, the original home on the site.
[1] The main house is a brick two-story, five-bay brick structure with a full front portico supported by six large square columns, sitting at the top of a low rise, looking out toward the east on the mountains of Black Rock Forest in the Hudson Highlands.
A two-story rectangular wing connects to the north end, and a screened porch runs the length of the west (rear) elevation.
Many of its original features remain intact, including molded ceilings and architraves and marble mantels.
[1] The Chimneys, also the Joseph Sutherland House, is a shingle-sided frame cottage on a stone foundation.
It consists of two blocks, a main one-and-a-half-story section three bays wide with a one-story, two-bay addition on the south.
Its interior has been extensively renovated since its construction but the Dutch door, wide board flooring and mantel remain.
