	Kykuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kykuit is a historic house built for John D. Rockefeller in 1913 by the architects Chester Holmes Aldrich and William Adams Delano.
		Starting in 1906, Kykuit's grounds was designed by landscape architect William Welles Bosworth, who designed the surrounding terraces and gardens with fountains, pavilions and classical sculpture.
		Kykuit is located one hour's drive north of New York City.

	ART REVIEW; A Fountain of Beauty, Seen Twice - New York Times
		Bosworth, designer of terraces, gardens, fountains, pavilions and classical sculpture at Kykuit, the Rockefeller estate here, had discovered a John Singer Sargent painting of the Oceanus Fountain at the estate hanging in the St. Botolph Club in Boston, and had reason to believe the club would sell it.
		She is believed to have passed the painting by bequest to her son, Laurance S. Rockefeller, who kept it in his New York City home until he died last summer.
		There is another image of a fountain from Kykuit by Sargent in a private collection, as well as a sketch of the Oceanus Fountain at the Sargent House in Gloucester, Mass.

		When John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil, built Kykuit in its present classical Greek-Roman style in 1913, he was the richest man in the world.

		The sculpture collection includes important works by Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, Constantin Brancusi, and David Smith among its 70 works, all placed with great care to take maximum advantage of the gardens and their sweeping views of the Hudson (both of which are perhaps unequaled by any of the great river estates).

		He moved into another house on the estate, and it was then that his son, John junior, began to try to convince his father to build a house on Kykuit Hill.
		The house the senior Rockefellers eventually built was modest by Gilded Age standards, and when you see it today, even though you know it has 40 rooms, it still seems reserved, even modest, when compared to the Vanderbilt mansion further up the river; but, then, the Vanderbilts had a building mania.
		And it was he who initiated the effort to give the estate to the public by willing his one-third interest in the house and property to the National Trust for Historic Preservation upon his death in 1979.
