Hidden Tudor

Teatown Lake Reservation is a nonprofit nature preserve and environmental education center in Westchester County, New York, in the United States. The reservation includes an 1,000-acre nature preserve and education center located in the Westchester towns of Yorktown, Cortlandt, and New Castle. About 25,000 people come each year to hike the preserve's 15 miles of trails, attend an education program, visit the Nature Center, or tour "Wildflower Island". Teatown's educators offer adult, family and children's programs to 20,000 participants annually, including nearly 6,000 schoolchildren and 700 summer camp students.

Known by locals simply as "Teatown", the organization works to conserve biodiversity, teach ecology and promote nature-friendly living. Located in the heart of the Lower Hudson Valley's Hudson Highlands bioregion, Teatown Lake Reservation's mission is to conserve open space, educate citizens about the environment, and involve the public in order to sustain the diversity of wildlife, plants and habitats for future generations.

Lets be frank. It is going to cost a lot of tax deductible money to move this beautiful building and grounds to a suitable site. A complete historical analysis must be performed by professional historic preservation practitioners. Standards of documentation, disassembly, and reconstruction will require professional architecture, construction crafts, transportation, and data processing. It will involve collaboration among several professional firms and interested communities. Finally, it should leave the TeaTown Foundation with a multimillion dollar endowment to support its current mission. There is going to be a lot of study, and on-site work.

There are 75,000 Ultra-High-Net-Worth households in North America with wealth of $ 30 million or more. Mobilizing members of this wealthy community to invest in American communities, save unique architecture, and create jobs is essential for social health.

Since TeaTown has already received numerous submissions that have not satisfactorily dealt with the issues, interested parties should assure that adequate resources are available to move the Croft to a new site before submitting an alternative.

ResErections will be pleased to assist structuring a proposal to relocate the buildings. ResErections does not represent TeaTown, its Board, or Staff. Nor do we have any formal agreement with them. Our statements regarding the Tudor buildings represent our opinion as to costs, motivations, and constraints. We believe that if a liberal offer could be submitted, various influences would be agreeable to the relocation of the Croft.
