More than 50 interior designers and landscape architects will transform this gracious U-shaped, stone and brick, tile-roofed residence and its 12,000 square feet of outdoor garden space into its former glorious state for visitors to enjoy. The house’s eclectic style features many elements of Norman-French architecture. Tyvan Hill was designed by the New York architectural firm of Peabody, Wilson & Brown, one of the preeminent and prolific designers of large country residences.
Visitors to Tyvan Hill will have the opportunity to tour the mansion and view original interior features, from an elegant curved staircase and paneling to elegant moldings, while experiencing the interior designers’ unique transformations in their specific spaces. A tour of the gardens will provide visitors with the pleasure of spending time among beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces filled with flowering plants, water features, relaxing seating, dramatic sculpture, and inspiring artwork.
Guests will be able to tour the house, the extensive gardens, and the pool area with its charming Pool House.
Funds raised at this year’s Mansion in May will contribute to the expansion of the Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute at Morristown Medical Center. As a nationally-ranked regional medical center and a recognized leader in cardiovascular medicine, this expansion will enable the facility to handle an estimated 10% of the projected new patient volume under the same roof, improving safety, efficiency, and workflow.
