The Scarsdale Women's club and the American Society of Interior Designers  
have partnered in a wonderful Designer Showhouse at the old Rowsley Estate at 37 
 Drake Road in Scarsdale.  We would love for you all to come and see the  
transformation of this old 1850's estate.  Tickets are $30 and proceeds  benefit 
the American Cancer Society.  There are 23 ASID Designers  represented at the 
house.  I created the Butler's Pantry.  The show  runs through 5/22--10-6 
daily and until 8 on Thursday nights.  
 
Hope to see some of you there!
If you need more information, please let me know.

About  The Show House  
About the Show  House

A Designer Show House showcases well  known interior designers from the 
metropolitan area, as  well as features some up-and-coming ones. Each of the  
selected designers is assigned a room to decorate. The  Show House is open to the 
public for two weeks preceded  by a carefully orchestrated Opening Night 
Reception to  kick off the designer experience. Workshops, speakers  and other 
interactive elements will also be incorporated  into the Show House.  
History of The  Rowsley Estate
The Scarsdale Woman’s  Club is the current owner of The Rowsley Cottage which 
 was built in 1858 and is set on four acres of  magnificent trees. The club 
is well known in Westchester  and has a reputation as a center for culture and  
education with concerts, lectures and seminars given on  a daily basis 
throughout the year. Its commitment to  philanthropy supports ambitious projects 
designed to  help those less fortunate and its goal is to nurture  women in the 
community. 
This manor style house is built  in an area with enormous history. The land 
on which it  stands was once part of an old farm owned by William  Saxon, an 
18th century miller. The house itself, Rowsley  Cottage, was built in 1858 by an 
enterprising young iron  merchant named William Bailey Lang. It was fashioned 
 after an estate he saw in Derbyshire, England, that had  captured his fancy. 
In the manner of the cultivated  people of his day, he searched Europe and 
America for  splendid furnishings and fine trees for the estate,  which then 
occupied thirty-four acres. 
Lang, who was a gifted artist,  brought to his country home elements of the 
castles and  museums he visited. Built in the 19th century mansard  roof style, 
the entrance features a set of eight stained  glass windows with acanthus 
leaves, dolphins and  cornucopia, executed in silver stain and amber glass. It  
gives a medieval light as one enters the 120 foot long  hall. In Lang’s time, 
it was filled with tapestries,  mail-clad figures, paintings and old furniture. 
The home  was lit by candles and fireplaces that cast interesting  shadows on 
the walls and gave an appearance suggestive  of past centuries.  
William Bailey Lang died  in 1887. His house was bought from one of the 
subsequent  owners in 1928 by the Scarsdale Woman’s Club. The lively  history of 
the house has been continued by the 80 year  story of the Club’s activities in 
it.
