Pciulding, Esq. delightfully seated on a bold bank of the Hudson; it commands from its elevated position, the noblest prospects of the river, while the view to the east is terminated by the lofty hills of Greenburgh. The edifice is constructed of Sing Sing marble, after the designs of Alex. J. Davis, Esq, In its details, both externally and internally, the most minute atten-tion has been paid to a careful correspondence with the best ex-amples of the Tudor era. Among the most remarkable features of the building, deserves to be noticed, the admirable porte cochere, or covered entrance for carriages, and a superb library ornamented wiih a lofty ceiling of carved timber.
