Guests at Glenview included Civil War generals Nelson Miles and William Tecumseh Sherman , who suggested

228-545: A demand in Eastlake furniture; however, Eastlake himself denied that there was an Eastlake style. This led to furniture manufacturers—who initially thought that Eastlake's ideas would be more harmful than good—to invent their own Eastlake furniture, with it reaching a point that it was "seen everywhere". In 1876, the Centennial Exhibition showcased Eastlake's ideas from his book to thousands of Americans. While

Manufacturers in

836-536: Is of Victorian architecture and one of the core principles of this style was that Eastlake thought that the furniture in people's homes should be good looking and be made by manufacturers who enjoyed their work. This was contrary to the previous style of furniture, with pieces that were large, heavy, and thick, and that collected dust and germs. Eastlake movement was named after the English architect Charles Locke Eastlake (nephew of Sir Charles Lock Eastlake ) following

1216-461: The 1850s. His career as a banker and stockbroker went well enough for him to move to Yonkers when he married in 1861. At the time the community was becoming attractive as a residence for wealthy financiers who wanted to live on Hudson Valley estates yet remain within commuting distance of their jobs in Manhattan via rail—the beginnings of suburbanization . Upon first moving to Northwest Yonkers,

1292-425: The 23 acres (9.3 ha) to the north for $ 150,000 ($ 4.29 million in modern dollars) and commissioned Charles W.

For the interior finishes he hired some of

1368-572: The American adaptation as "extravagant and bizarre". However, the style lived on and it was later combined with Italianate and Second Empire elements to create the "San Francisco Style". In furniture, Eastlake was particularly fond of oak and cherry wood grains; however, American manufacturers still used ebonized wood despite Eastlake's suggestions. The forms of the furniture were often rectilinear and had "geometric ornament, turnings, brackets, trestles, and incised linear decoration." Additionally,

1444-521: The Civil War, the middle class desired a design reform due to the increasing awareness of the English movement. In England, Eastlake was one of many who desired a design reform, but in America his simplicity and taste were exposed to "unprecedented new readers".

1672-528: The Shonnards had subdivided their property to the north and east of the estate. In the years since, those lots had been sold and slowly developed with houses similar to, but smaller than, Glenview. Often their proximity to the Trevors' home was used as a selling point. By the time of Emily Trevor's death, this evolution from country town to modern suburb was almost complete, and so the family decided to sell

1748-476: The Trevors lived at a house on the northwest corner of Glenwood and Ravine avenues, near where the Glenwood train station is today. James B. Colgate , Trevor's business partner, owned the land. There were few other neighbors, as most of the land between Warburton and North Broadway was open and undeveloped, making it attractive to Trevor and businessmen like him. In 1867 his wife died. After remarrying, he bought

1824-588: The United States used the drawings and ideas in the book to create mass-produced Eastlake Style or Cottage furniture. The geometric ornaments, spindles, low relief carvings, and incised lines were designed to be affordable and easy to clean; nevertheless, many of the designs which resulted are artistically complex. Although Charles Eastlake did not make furniture, his movement influenced the interior design of American homes with English designs that were easy to clean, functional, and simple. The ‘Eastlake’ style

Greystone's tower may have inspired the one Clinton built on the Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Avenue in Manhattan a year after Glenview was finished. The inside reflected changes in house design that would later become common in suburban residences. In an urban house, rooms would have been stretched out to

2128-520: The area since the Panic of 1873 had depressed the economy. It was called a "showplace" for Yonkers, incorporated as a city just five years earlier, in 1872. In 1886 it was one of 12 Yonkers homes selected for engraved illustrations in Thomas Scharf's History of Westchester County , which has since become a standard reference work for historians. Throughout those years, Trevor lived the life of

2204-418: The back along the floor due to spatial limitations on the sides. As a result, the dining room and kitchen were in the rear since they could be on the same floor. A pantry connected them so service need not go through the public areas of the house.

" The house has not had any significant deviations from

2356-408: The billiards room was used primarily as the children's dining room, with the billiards table covered with a tablecloth. The parlor and library were rarely used. Emily said later that she and her aging mother "lived a very quiet life" at Glenview during the 1910s. The neighborhood around them had changed considerably since the house was built. Back in 1875, the year before Glenview's construction began,

The wall cladding in the main house is a horizontal shiplap with vertical lapboard. All of the windows are framed with grooved vertical moulding and other trim work, such as sunbursts above

2508-417: The designs were easily made by machines. Eastlake also believed that the prices of his furniture should be "as cheap as that which is ugly" as he could not understand why anyone would buy a more expensive piece of furniture for a more intricate design.

3192-461: The houses also emphasized the contrast between the lighter colors of the details and the darker colors of the house body. In the United States, especially in California, American home builders in the 1880s replaced flat-cut gingerbread ornamental elements that were popular in the 1860s and 1870s with lathe-tuned spindlework for balusters and wall surface decoration. Charles Eastlake criticized

The façade also included "perforated gables and pediments, carved panels and a profusion of beaded spindles, and lattice work found along porch eaves." Mansardic porches were another characteristic and had wrought iron crestings. The color combination of

3344-502: The machine-produced furniture that replicated handcraftsmanship. He stated that the "elaboration and finish" should be a lower priority and most artists concurred that the "educated ideas of construction and proportion" were preferred. One person who popularized Eastlake's ideas was Henry Hudson Holly, an architect who wrote multiple articles using Eastlake's book but only cited him once. Although Holly profited from Eastlake's ideas, he echoed his ideas on furniture. Eastlake's book led to

3420-473: The modern suburb. In 1929, after the Trevor family had moved out, the house became home to the Hudson River Museum for the next 45 years. The museum has since expanded but the house remains part of the complex. Its rooms have been refurbished in the style of the period, and are open to visitors. Renovations in the early 21st century have better integrated the house with the rest of the museum. The house itself

3496-422: The museum decided it needed more space and commissioned a $ 1.5 million ($ 12.5 million in modern dollars), 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m) addition with a planetarium in the brutalist style popular at the time. It was completed two years later. In addition to being a stark contrast to the house, it enclosed it within a courtyard, restricting the view of its first story.

Once Glenview had been built, Wiffler moved in with his family to the superintendent's cottage. The two planted 200 evergreens around the house and grounds, and orange and lemon trees in front. Trevor threw himself quite passionately into his hobby, growing prize specimens and developing new breeds. In 1883

Trevor, Jr. , recalled in the last years of his own life that by that point,

4484-408: The river, rather than at its edge, where the railroad cut off direct river access and passing trains occasionally spoiled the view and created a fire hazard . Trevor's theoretical second parcel just offshore could have been developed, but again the railroad's presence made that unlikely. He may have preferred to remain near his partner, the station and the facilities he had already built. Indeed, he put

The rough-hewn stone facing echoes the nearby Greystone and Rosemont mansions, which Trevor may have commended to

4940-491: The taste of which I should be very sorry to be considered responsible" shows his stance on this. This influence later led to the Eastlake movement in the United States where Eastlake style furniture were being produced for the middle-class. It was known to be affordable while also being handcrafted and easy to clean which shows the transformative nature of Eastlake's ideas to furniture. Eastlake style applied to houses as well as furniture. Characteristics of these houses include

5396-421: The ‘old’ Renaissance style was featured in most of the exhibitions, manufacturers were criticized for prioritizing profits over creating well-designed pieces of furniture.

5472-520: Was built in 1885 and in Eureka, the building is the most prominent example of Eastlake style. The building had several renovations to parts of the building, leading to the interior having a mixture of period styles. Many of the interior millwork were replaced during the hospital renovation in 1907 and in 1952 the dining room and kitchen were constructed in the style of that year. On the second floor, there are two Eastlake style bedrooms that have been unchanged. The entry hall of Thomas F. Ricks House contains

5548-481: Was gone. In the nineteenth century, as machine-production became more mainstream, many household artists thought that the designs produced lacked artistic characteristics and had untraditional craftsmanship. Unlike manmade furniture, artists believed that machine-made furniture did not have holistic designs and "had a basic form, a skeleton so to speak, to which various moldings and appendages of different styles were hastily applied." Eastlake, like many others, disliked

5624-440: Was later compared to a prison. An elevator was installed in the mansion and its rooms were restored to focus on the house's history and how the Trevors lived. Three decades later, in the first years of the 21st century, the museum began raising money to upgrade both of its facilities as part of a $ 14 million expansion. The first phases called for better integrating and connecting Glenview and the 1969 structure. A breezeway between
