On
November 17, over 150 guests were greeted by
the Jay Heritage Center's Board
members for a centennial celebration of the
1907 Van Norden Carriage House located just
behind the 1838 Jay Mansion in Rye, New York. Built
by the esteemed Manhattan banking family after
whom it is named, it houses the Jay Center's
permanent exhibit “The Design of Providence” which
explains the cultural legacy of Founding Father
John Jay and his colleagues to countless visitors
and school groups.
Restyled in the fashion of a candlelit cabaret,
the House was filled by a core of the Jay Heritage
Center's most faithful patrons and supporters
who were treated to a sumptuous feast and
serenaded by renowned chanteuse, Nancy
Anderson, accompanied by the Felix Swing
Band. Guests left the Champagne Centennial
Fete with memories of a sparkling night that embraced
not only a classic American family's legacy
but also offered a taste of what an evening in
that era must have been like on the very property
where these historic treasures remain preserved. $150,000
was raised to support the Jay Center's educational
programs on American History, Architecture and
Landscape Conservation.
