Old Westbury Gardens AKA Westbury House in Old Westbury, NY (architect: George Crawley)
This blog describes more than 30 country houses in North America that are pleasant to look at and have interesting histories. I know of a few others but there is little information or photographs available so there is not enough to create a post. Until more information is obtained or other properties are discovered I am including some honorable mentions. Although this blog is about “country houses,” there are several stunning homes in North America that didn’t quite meet the definition of a country house but still merit attention for their outstanding design characteristics. This post showcases some of these properties. There are many more. If you know of a property that may meet the criteria for inclusion in this blog then please leave a comment.
