}}Blairsden is a historic 52,000 square foot, 38-room mansion located in Peapack-Gladstone, New Jersey.[2] Set high on a hilltop overlooking Ravine Lake, the mansion is part of what was originally an estate of {{convert|550|acre|m2}}.[3] In addition to its 38 rooms, the mansion has 25 fireplaces and 19 bathrooms.[1]

History

Blairsden was built between 1897 and 1903 for Clinton Ledyard Blair (1867–1949), an American investment banker. It was designed by the prominent architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings.[4]

Sisters of St. John the Baptist

After Blair's death in 1949, the mansion was sold to the Sisters of St. John the Baptist, who operated the house as a religious retreat.[5] In 2002, the Sisters of St. John the Baptist sold the property to the Foundation for Classical Architecture, owned by Victor Shafferman.[6][7]

Present day

The mansion was subsequently listed for sale and sold in 2012 for $4.5 million to a holding company named Blairsden Hall, LLC.[8] Local officials identified the new owner as T. Eric Galloway, a New York developer and president of the Galvan Foundation and the Lantern Organization.[1]

In May 2014, Blairsden was the site of the 2014 "Mansion in May" Designer Showhouse and Gardens.[9] This designer showhouse was presented by the Women's Association of Morristown Medical Center, and it attracted over 33,000 visitors.[10]
