Wyndclyffe

Reimagining an American classic.
A guilded-age ruin on the banks of the Hudson River is transformed.

Wyndclyffe, the once grand Norman-style mansion near Rhinebeck, New York, is being transformed after decades of abandonment. Built in 1853 for New York City socialite Elizabeth Schermerhorn Jones, the mansion, originally called Rhinecliff, was known for its elaborate brickwork and luxurious gatherings that may have inspired the phrase “keeping up with the Joneses.” Frequented by writer Edith Wharton in her youth, the house holds a significant place in Hudson Valley history. Now, after over 70 years of neglect, Wyndclyffe is being restored to its former glory, blending its rich Gilded Age past with a modern vision for the future.
