Description

An extraordinary building with an equally unique history... Wyndclyffe Manor, Rhinebeck, New York.

"It is out of this estate-building that the phrase "keeping up with the Joneses" supposedly originated from. On the eastern shore of the Hudson, is the ruined shell of a mansion known as Wyndclyffe, which is featured in Hudson River Villas. It was built in 1853 for Elizabeth Schermerhorn Jones, a relative by marriage to the wealthy Astor Family, and it is rumored she is the source of the old adage."

If you'd like to purchase this as a print, it's available in my Etsy shop here: www.etsy.com/listing/215855979…

Ruined and abandoned places like this are always strangely fascinating... great work with this shot!
