This Peekskill manor, built in the 1870's, was the country estate of
Henry
Ward Beecher, famous 19th Century abolitionist and cleric. His daughter,
Harriet Beecher Stowe, authored the controversial Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Today the building serves St. Peter's Episcopal School. Its massive
opulence is an architectural forerunner of the famed "Hudson River
Castles" constructed upriver.
