Ormsby Mitchell House
Rye, New York
1920
Rye, New York
1920
The country house stands on the grounds of what was once Brevoort Farm, a sprawling 200-acre waterfront property established by wealthy landowner Henry Brevoort in 1830. The three-story estate, commissioned by Ormsby Mitchel in 1917, features an impressive façade lined with a succession of white-trimmed windows. The house was one of Mott Schmidt’s first major works.
