An in-depth study of Vanderbilt Mansion and its estate

Peggy Albee’s Historic Resource Study surveys Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site through the many elements that shape a country estate. Its scope includes the mansion’s architecture and furnished interiors, along with its mechanical systems and the transportation systems of the estate. The study also considers the surrounding cultural landscape and traces occupancy from the Vanderbilt period to the present. Together, these topics place the house within a broader account of the site, connecting its built features with the landscape and its history of use.
