Home for the
Holidays: A Designer Showhouse
at Orchard Hill at
Old Westbury Gardens
The Showhouse
will run through Sunday, December 18.
Proceeds benefit Old Westbury Gardens.
Some of the
most creative interior designers and decorative artists in
the NYC area have transformed Orchard Hill, a sprawling,
1856 farmhouse, into the ultimate Holiday Home. Each room
features a different holiday or winter motif from A
Safari Christmas Holiday to Arctic Retreat to
Midnight in Paris – New Years Eve, sure to bring anyone
and everyone into the Holiday Spirit.
Listed on
the National Register of Historic Places, Old Westbury
Gardens is the former country estate of John S. (Jay)
Phipps. Westbury House, a magnificent, Charles II-style
mansion, is surrounded by 200 acres of tree-lined walks,
lakes, statuary, grand allées, and indescribably beautiful
gardens. Jay’s daughter, Peggie Phipps Boegner, who grew up
in Westbury House and was the founder of Old Westbury
Gardens, lived in the Orchard Hill home from 1930 until her
passing in 2006.
