Step inside a historic private mansion to see how the rich lived over one hundred years ago!

• A visit to the mansion's historic rooms, including the dining room, chapel, kitchen, parlor, and grand library
• Stories around Edith Shepard Fabbri and her husband Ernesto Fabbri, and why the house, artwork, and furnishings were all donated in 1949 to the Episcopal Church of New York
• A closer examination of the immaculate Grand Library, which originated from a 1600s Ducal palace in Urbino, Italy, and how it was transported in two ships through U-boat infested waters during World War I
• A look at the original furniture, art, and decor in the House of the Redeemer, which has been perfectly preserved
