Wordless Wednesday - Olana

Olana Olana

While waiting between appointments I decided to walk around Olana and get some updated shots. Okay I am crazy about the Hudson Valley there is just so much to see.

So What is Olana?

Olana was the home of the famous Frederic Church a landscape painter from the Hudson Rivers School Of Arts.

That is one beautiful home... I can see why you love Hudson Valley,.. it is beautiful.

The Hudson Valley is indeed a beautiful place. I had never even heard of Olana. I'm going to have to check it out. It must be awesome in the fall.

Classic old building, it looks like it was originally a church or some sort of structure that was converted into residential. Just seems to have too much character for a have been intended for a house.

Olana,

Absolutely stunning....and nice to see the front and back!

Hi Jennifer,

My goodness, I never heard of this place. How spectacular! I can't imagine how it would look covered in snow? If I ever make it to your neck of the woods, it's a place that i'd love to see.

Olana in the fall Joan it truly is a lovely place to live.

Barbara - You will love it, it sit high above the the Hudson River a perfect spot for someone someone who painted landscapes. If you make the trip you should also visit Clermont which is right on the banks of the Hudson. The Thomas Cole place is on the other-side of the rive across from Olana. Give me a call if you plan a trip here.

Robert - Mr Church had it specially built, A visit to the site would show why he wanted something majestic.

Lori it is truly stunning.

Lynda I know you would love it. I don't have a picture with the snow on the ground but I can share a couple from the Fall.

Jennifer, you are giving us history lessons with your posts. Had never heard of Olana... now we know. Appreciate you sharing and taking these beautiful pictures.

Thanks Jennifer, that is great and you are right about the Hudson Valley.

Jennifer, there are some amazing homes along the Hudson River. I can't remember where I went, but it was a home that is now a museum, and what a place! Love the photos, thank you!

What a great property Jennifer. I want to get out that way soon. Maybe for the Craft Fair???

What a cool building. It is quite fanciful! I wouldn't mind living there--let me know if it ever comes on the market. Maybe I can rent a broom closet!

Cheers,

Robin

Jennifer, To think I passed all these beautiful sites by on my way to PTown. I'm sorry I didn't stop for a day or so and spend some time in your beautiful area of New York!

Jennifer You learn something new every day - the tile and brick work on that home is very unique Karen

Jennifer, Olama is sure a beautiful building and certainly very different. Thanks for posting the pictures of it.

Diane - Sometime I try to slip in a bit of history, you caught me....lol

Kevin - I couldn't agree more.

Andrea - Thank you. We have many historic homes.

Paddy - You are so close come see us.

Carole - I am sure you will, one of these days.
