Baltzell commissioned a Neo-Georgian manor house by Carrère & Hastings set amid the picturesque landscaping that included a formal garden in the Italianate style designed by the Olmsted Brothers. The Baltzell families occupied the manor until the 1940’s when the Stigmatine Fathers used it for seminary housing and a children’s summer camp. The estate suffered neglect after the family departed, but the landscape elements of the property were of such historic significance, that in 1987 the estate was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
