Title	Building-structure inventory form: The "Chanler House"
Creator	New York (State). Division for Historic Preservation
Date.Original	1977-04-22
Contributors	Clark, Donald. F. (Orange County Historian)
Description	Inventory form for building located on Tower Hill Rd. recording the following information: Harold Hardcastle (owner at time of inventory). A two and a half story shingled, stuccoed and half-timbered construction on a low stone foundation. Steep gabled asphalt roof. Several gabled and hipped dormers with original shingles wrapped so as to give rounded edge. Small shells and stones embedded in stucco. A hipped pentagonal bay with latticed windows. German script on bay, visible in photograph has been painted out. There is a porte-cochere and a sunburst motif center front. Side entrance has sidelights. Fenestration mostly lattice. Built in 1886 by Bruce Price. Designed by Bruce Price as a summer cottage in 1886, this once acclaimed house has been severely altered. It was first published in the periodical Building V, Sept. 18, 1866, as a pondering by Fred Wright. Frank Lloyd's own house in Oakland Park, 1889, bears a remarkable resemblance. It is a close adaptation of plan, elevation and facade (see Scully, Graybill and Hitchcock below). A photograph was also published in Architecture I, May 1900. "The house has been considerably remodelled with extensive additions in the rear and a polygonal two-story porch at one corner. The two-story extension addition on the roadside is later and covers the first story bay windows on the side...The house has been repainted to emphasize the distinctness of the various materials..." and resembles a Swiss chalet. An irony, in that it was originally intended as a statement away from the picturesque toward a more ordered symmetry. This house was moved (1890-1894) by its owner, "capitalist" Winthrop Chanler. The various transactions for this house and its history remain somewhat obscure. The first owner, in 1888, appears to have been Charles Coolidge Pomeroy, a prominent New York City businessman. It was sold to Winthrop Chanler in 1891 and was probably moved at that time to make room for the Coster estate (designed by William Bates; current owner: Mrs. Maude Coster French). Several transactions ensue (Chanler left the Park in 1902), the most notable being Georgie C. Piorde, half-brother to the Duke of Windsor.
