I recently went to an event at “The Club at Briarcliff Manor“, a nearby retirement community. The event was held at the very top of the building, which has the spectacular view out over the Hudson River seen in this picture. “The Club” is built on what once was the site of the Briarcliff Lodge (1902-2003 see below to see what it looked like). Many Lodge residents must have seen very much the same view.

The building in the center foreground was once Walter W. Law‘s mansion. Law was the founder of Briarcliff Manor. The mansion is currently for sale. It started off at over $4 million, and now it’s down to $2.9 million. A good-sized single-family house in Briarcliff Manor can easily go for $2 million so this would appear to be something of a steal – one wonders why.
