When Dr. Charles V. Paterno demolished his famous Manhattan castle overlooking the Hudson River in 1938, he set his sights on Greenwich, CT for his next home; and just one year later, his vision was realized. What makes this sprawling estate like no other in the northeast? It’s time to explore one of the country’s most famous chateaux like never before.
Thursday, Dec 12th • 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM EST
Join New York Adventure Club as we uncover the complete story behind Dr. Charles V. Paterno’s Round Hill estate in Greenwich, CT, a luxury 23-acre estate built in 1939 on the highest point between Manhattan and Boston.
Led by Carla Golden, great-granddaughter of Dr. Charles V. Paterno, our virtual deep dive into this famed Paterno property will include:
• A brief overview of Dr. Paterno’s life and legacy, from how he made his fortune to his decision to raze his Washington Heights castle and move to Greenwich, CT
• Original blueprints of Round Hill designed and drawn by architect Greville Ricard
• A deep dive into the Norman-inspired 13,000-square-foot home, which featured 18 rooms, 3 towers, a 5-car garage, a swimming pool, and a three-story billiard room with views of the Manhattan skyline on clear days.
• Rare real estate photographs when the estate was first sold in 1948 after Dr. Paterno’s death
• First-hand documents from when famous art collector Joseph Hirshhorn owned and lived at Round Hill
• Details of the massive restoration and renovation by Dee & Tommy Hilfiger
• Observations about how Round Hill has changed, but largely remained the same, for 85 years
Afterward, we’ll have a Q&A with Carla — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
