Spotted on my road trip… a spectacular Second Empire mansion in need of saving in Newburgh, NY.
This house has all the bells and whistles of the Second Empire style including a brownstone bay windows and carved trim on the brick exterior, a patterned slate Mansard roof, and a belvedere on top – all overlooking the Hudson River in a beautiful historic district. After spotting it during my stop there, I was happy to discover online that its sale is pending. I hope it will get the quality restoration it needs.
