Glenview Historic Home

Glenview was built by John Bond Trevor, a highly successful stockbroker, who, like many other businessmen of the late nineteenth century, preferred to live in comfort in the newly accessible suburbs of New York City.

Glenview reflects the lifestyle of its former residents, the Trevor family, and features fine woodwork, furnishings, decorative objects, paintings, and sculptures.

Created by dollhouse enthusiast Mark O’Banks and gifted to the Hudson River Museum in 2006, Nybelwyck Hall is unique for both design and for the glimpse it gives of a dollhouse family—the Van Nybelwycks. Please note, the Billiard Room and Nybelwyck Hall Dollhouse are temporarily closed to the public.

The Trevors owned Glenview for 45 years. In 1877, when the house was completed, John Bond Trevor and Emily Norwood Trevor moved in with their daughters Mary and Emily, a son, Henry, the child of his first marriage to the late Louisa Stewart, and several servants.
