OVERVIEW

A 250-room French Renaissance chateau built for George Vanderbilt and completed in 1895, still the largest privately owned house in the United States, set on a landscaped estate designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

Staff and visitors report a shadowy figure in the library resembling George Vanderbilt, especially before storms; phantom party sounds — clinking glasses, music, and conversation — are reported in empty rooms, and the basement pool room is associated with reports of splashing sounds and a woman in black.

VISITING

Open to the public as a paid estate and museum.
