The Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum is a magnificent historic house museum located in the quiet part of Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx, New York City. With one of the finest Greek revival interiors in the country, the spectacular home is the last still standing major mid-19th century country estate mansion in the area, which was once the location of more than 20 grand estates. The house is standing on the location of a Federal-style home built in 1654 for Robert and Maria Lorillard Bartow. The current house, completed in 1842, was owned by the Pella and the Bartow families until 1888, when it was sold to the City of New York. The house, filled with lavish mid-19th century furnishings and decorative arts, is now open to the public for tours, which include the beautifully landscaped formal terraced gardens behind the house.

Address: Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum, 895 Shore Rd, Pelham Bay Park, Bronx, NY 10464-1030
