Glass house built amid Tuxedo Park mansion ruins seeks $2.4M

A glass house built on a Tuxedo Park site where a Gilded Age mansion once stood is on the market for $2.38 million, LoHud reported. The original mansion — built back in 1903 for future World War I hero-turned-stockbroker Col. Frank Keech — was “reduced to rubble” after Keech enlisted his chauffeur to burn it down for insurance money, according to the outlet. (Keech killed himself before facing trial.) Artist Edgar Bertolucci designed the current home in 1970 within the ruins of the mansion, which include “stone terraces, intricately built stone fountains, ponds and walking paths,” according to LoHud. The three-bedroom home, known as “The Gallery,” sits on 6.8 acres at 14 Butternut Road and has a patio with gardens that overlook Tuxedo Lake. Barbara du Pont of Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty has the listing. [LoHud]
