About Reid Castle
Reid Castle was designed by Stanford White and built in 1892
To host your event at Reid Castle, is to become part of a history that began with the marriage of New York Tribune owner Whitelaw Reid and his wife, Elizabeth, who, in 1888, envisioned transforming their country home into the legendary architectural and landscaping landmark it remains today. Their time in France, where Whitelaw served as American Ambassador, informs every aspect of this jewel in the crown of Westchester's grand estates.
From the marbled marvel of its gloriously gleaming reception hall, through its grand reception rooms, including original chambers imported from historic French chateaux, it represents the peak of that period's aesthetic, preserved to polished perfection in all its original detail.
Our grounds, designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted, Central Park's visionary landscaper. Rolling views sweeping to the waters of Long Island Sound and streaming through French doors that open to elegant terraces and other possibilities for seasonal party planning. Also near to major air, rail and interstate connections. Yet so far removed from anything anyone else within such close proximity to metropolitan New York can offer.
