LOOK CLOSER. 👀
Pages 102–103 of Old Westbury Gardens: Days of Grace on Long Island take us inside the Dining Room of Westbury House, where dark paneling and Georgian portraits create a richly atmospheric setting designed for evening entertaining.
The room itself has an interesting history: in 1927, the paneling was brought from Henry and Annie Phipps’ former home at 1063 Fifth Avenue and adapted by architect George Crawley to fit its new setting at Old Westbury.
And now, you can get closer to it than ever before.
Ticketholders for our Secrets of the Service Wing tour can walk through the Dining Room as part of this behind-the-scenes experience, offering a closer look at a room that has rarely been accessible to visitors in this way.
Want to know more about the stories behind the rooms, objects, and people of Old Westbury Gardens? Join us October 6 at 6 p.m. for the launch of "Old Westbury Gardens: Days of Grace on Long Island," featuring a conversation with award-winning writer and editor Clive Aslet @cliveaslet celebrated international photographer Dylan Thomas @dylan_location, moderated by noted interior designer Thammanoune Kannalikham @kannalikham_designs.

A glimpse into one of the elegant interiors of Westbury House. 👀
On page 123 of Old Westbury Gardens: Days of Grace on Long Island, photographer Dylan Thomas captures the dressing room, where a pair of sang de boeuf jars sit at either end of the mantelpiece beneath Landscape with Still Life and Parrot by eighteenth-century Romanian painter Tobias Stranover.
Details like these—beautiful, unexpected, and rich with history—are part of what makes this new book such a captivating portrait of Old Westbury Gardens.
Join us October 6 at 6 p.m. for the book launch and a special conversation with Clive Aslet @cliveaslet and Dylan Thomas @dylan_location, moderated by interior designer Thammanoune Kannalikham @kannalikham_designs.
