WestFair Rides Spring Gathering of Friends and Supporters
Join us June 3, 2017 at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, a destination for exceptional music, captivating programs, and spectacular gardens and grounds.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Rosen House is a work of living history. The Mediterranean-style House was built during the period between 1929 and 1939 by Walter Rosen, a Berlin-born, Harvard and NYU Law School-educated international banker specializing in railroads, and Lucie Bigelow Dodge Rosen, an independently minded, spirited, and highly intelligent member of a prominent New York City family. Filled with examples of fine and decorative Asian and Renaissance art, the House offers a number of treasures, including complete 18th-century rooms, originally from private villas and chateaux in Italy, France, and England. The Burgundian Library is a French 17th-century, paneled room with a brilliant blue groin-vaulted ceiling. An exquisite 16th century painted Spanish ceiling resides in an alcove off the Music Room. Docents will lead small groups of participants through the many lavishly decorated rooms.
We will also enjoy a formal tea service in the grand setting of Summer Dining Room of the historic Rosen House, overlooking the stunning Spanish Courtyard. Tea service includes a variety of tea sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and preserves, delicious desserts and a variety of fragrant teas.
Leave yourself time after the Tea & Tour to stroll through Caramoor's bucolic gardens and grounds.
