The Colonial Revival home that stands today was built for Charles Astor Bristled, by Pittsfield architect H. Neill Wilson. The architect had also designed the mammoth Shadowbrook next door.

The younger Charles practiced law for a few years but was primarily living on his considerable Astor fortune. Over time, he expanded his Stockbridge landholdings to over 400 acres. Even that wealth thinned out after Charles’ death in 1936. His daughters continued to stay at Lakeside and the property remains in family hands.
