Description
Frederic Church purchased the property for Olana in 1860. He and his wife, Isabel Church, impressed by the architecture they saw in cities like Beirut, Jerusalem and Damascus, envisioned a home at Olana that incorporated Middle Eastern elements and designs. The house is built high on a hill near Hudson, NY between 1870 and 1891, then as now, the main house offers magnificent sweeping vistas of the Catskill Mountains, the Hudson River and the Taconic Hills. Frederic Church, one of the premier American landscape painters, will forever be associated with the Hudson River Valley, where he painted and made his home.

Thanks so much Ian, this is actually a former residence of a Hudson River Painter, and his name is Frederic Church.
