The Alfred Lee Loomis Mansion
Wilson Eyre, the famous Philladelphia architecht was commissioned by Harleston Deacon to design and build this gracious gabled mansion. Completed in 1903 and subsequently the family home of Alfred Lee Loomis, Wall Street financier and WWII scientist. This stately brown stucco mansion is nestled on a wooded hillside boasting extensive uniterrupted views and over three acres of lush garden and rolling lawns. The home remains an elegant tribute to the renowned architect and to the refined Tuxedo Park lifestyle of Loomis’ 1920’s.
Featured in the 2002 book about the life of Alfred Lee Loomis by Jennet Conant titled Tuxedo Park the home boasts a living room and gallery with Jacobean ceilings and elaboratly carved mantelpieces.
Upon entering the house, the visitor is welcomed through a dutch door to the substantial entrance hall with over-sized fireplace, which in winter provides a warm and inviting space for champagne and conversation. One can easily imagine Loomis and his guests on a cold snowy evening, standing next to the roaring fire while admiring the spectacular decorative wood carvings of devils and angels which flank each side of the fireplace, together with a cornucopia of various blossoms, fruits, and foliage reminiscent of the centuries’ ago work of renowned English artist Grinling Gibbons adorning the mantel.
The sweeping staircase opposite the fireplace continue the carved elegance up to the landing on the second floor elegantly framed with carved wooden columns overlooked by a romantic two-storied window.
