[5] The John A. Hartford House stands on the campus of Westchester Community College, located west of the village of Valhalla.

The house is a large Tudor Revival structure, designed by Mann and MacNeille, an architecture firm from New York City,[1] and completed in 1932.

Despite the building's adaptation to institutional use, it retains some feeling of a home, and still includes some of John Hartford's furnishings.

[4] John Hartford purchased over 300 acres (120 ha) of land in 1930 from Joseph Daly, a New York lawyer who had used the estate for breeding horses.

Hartford had the house built, along with other trappings of a country estate, including a nine-hole golf course.
