Blairhame- a treasured gift to Tuxedo Park School

Presentation by former Headmaster Jim Burger

Completed in 1915, for J. Insley Blair and his wife Natalie Knowlton, this 65-room and 20 bathroom mansion was designed by Carrère & Hastings. The attic floor of their mansion was divided into private "museum rooms" given over to their spectacular collection of art and Americana, much of which was donated in 1939 to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other museums. Thanks to being donated by daughter, Joan Blair Overton, Blairhame has been home to the Tuxedo Park School since 1957.
