The Trustees of Reservations
Designed by David Adler to be a Stuart-style English country house for Mr. and Mrs. Richard Crane, Jr., the Great House at Castle Hill was bequeathed to The Trustees of Reservations (TTOR) in 1949. TTOR has partnered with ENHC in the past through the Partnership Grant program for the reconstruction of the Casino retaining wall in 1998 and to conserve the Paul Manship griffin sculptures in 2001. In 2003, the Trustees removed thirteen exterior busts depicting the Caesars of Rome to be conserved through a Partnership Grant. Now in its second phase, reproductions are being created to be place on the exterior of the house so the originals are protected from further deterioration.
The house and surrounding 165 acres is a beautiful place for spring picnics and summer concerts, but it is also a magnificent place to go in the wintertime. TTOR holds many holiday events including holiday parties and open houses, and even children’s holiday parties. To sign up for these events just got to the ENHC calendar.
