From its panoramic views to the beauty of its gardens, to its stunning Tudor architecture and stained-glass windows, Skylands Manor and the New Jersey State Botanical Gardens indulge the senses.
Architect John Russell Pope designed Skylands Manor in the late 1920s for Clarence McKenzie Lewis, a stockbroker and civil engineer. The English Jacobean architectural style was common in the English countryside 400 years ago, with the 44-room building constructed of native stone and half-timbers. The surrounding gardens are a culmination of two eras of landscape architecture under the direction of Francis Lynde Stetson, owner of the Skylands estate from 1891 to 1922.
Among Skylands Manor’s many interior attractions are a collection of antique stained-glass medallions set in leaded windows, including pieces from 16th century German, Bavarian, and Swiss sites. Metalwork artisan Samuel Yellin designed the wrought iron lanterns and lamps found throughout the Manor, along with the magnificent spiral staircase rail and gate.
