Description
The Ambrose Wager House, also known as Croff's Villa, is a striking example of Second Empire architecture in Rhinebeck, NY. Built in 1875, the house was designed by renowned architect Gilbert B. Croff, who featured it in his book Progressive American Architecture. Originally constructed for Ambrose Wager, a successful attorney in the area, the house has remained a private residence throughout its history. In 1990, it was purchased by Dr. Antonio Parisi and his wife, Dr. Doilfa Parisi, for $26,000 from Hudson River Heritage Inc., a preservation group that required the new owners to restore the property while preserving its Victorian character. The restoration process, which cost over $100,000, brought the house back to its former grandeur, ensuring that this piece of Rhinebeck's architectural history would continue to stand as a testament to the elegance and craftsmanship of the era.
