Visiting Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum, with its splendid Greek Revival interiors and country setting in Pelham Bay Park, is a unique New York City experience. As the only grand 19th-century country house still in existence on Pelham Bay, the museum provides an important link to the social and architectural history of New York.
Robert Bartow, a publisher and Pell descendant, purchased the estate in 1836. He undertook to build the elegant gray stone mansion whose Greek Revival interior featured a free-standing spiral staircase, a high-ceilinged double parlor and floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor.
The two-story building, designed in the mid-19th century by an unknown architect, has a Greek Revival facade and federal interiors and is the last surviving manor house in the Pelham Bay Park area.
Located in the Bronx, just ten miles from Manhattan, Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum, with its splendid late Federal style exterior and Greek Revival period rooms, is a hidden gem set within New York City’s largest park – Pelham Bay.
An architectural and historical treasure, the Carriage House at Bartow-Pell is the only unaltered masonry structure of its type and age still standing in New York City. The building dates to the original construction of the mansion around 1842.
Visitors to the park enjoy miles of bridle paths and hiking trails, Orchard Beach, the Bartow-Pell Mansion, two golf courses, and a breathtaking 13-mile saltwater shoreline that hugs Long Island Sound. Athletes frequent its numerous fields and courts while children frolic in its playgrounds.
