Washington Iring's Sunnyside in Tarrytown, New York Accompanying a plan of Sunnyside (unprinted here), a former residence of Washington Iving in New York, is the fllowing text. We have left out its title, which indicates clearly its purpose, in the hope that the reader will reconstruct it after reading the text.

Sunnyside is one of the few surviving and best-documented examples of American romanticism in architecture and landscape design. Andrew Jackson Downing featured Sunnyside in his Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening (1841) as an example of the "progressive improvement in Rural Architecre.."which, he explained, strives to be in "perfect keeping"with "surrounding nature"by its "varied"and "picturesque"outline. ' Architectural beauty,"he taught, "must be considered conjointly with the beauty of the landscape,"

Walking the 24-acre grounds is a pleasure in every season. Swans glide on the pond Irving called "the ltle Mediterranean", and a stone flume delights the ear with the sound of rushing water. A path leads up a small rise and from there down into "the glen,"and up to the house. Behind the house, another path winds along the Hudson for views of the river at its widest point, the Tappan Zee.

The modest stone cottage which was later to become Sunnyside was originally a tenant farmer's house built in the late-seventeenth century on the Philipsburg Manor. During the eighteenth century, the cottage was owned by a branch of the Van Tassel family, the name Irving later immortalized in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".

Irving purchased the cottage in 1835 and directed the remodeling, adding Dutch-stepped gables, ancient weathervanes, and developing Gothic and Romanesque architectural features for other parts of the house. He was so pleased with his home that in 1836 he wrote to his brother, Peter: "I am living most cozily and delightully in this dear, bright lttle home, which I have ftted up to my own humor. Everything goes on cheerily in my ltte household and I would not exchange the cottage for any chateau in Christendom.'

Today's visitor to Sunnyside sees Irving's home much as it appeared during the final years of his life. The author's bookdined study contains his writing desk--a gift from his publisher, G.P. Putnam and many personal possessions. The dining room, in which Irving and his dinner guests often gathered to enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the Hudson River, adjoins the parlor. Here Irving played his flute, while his nieces, Sarah and Catherine, accompanied him on the rosewood piano. The piano and other original furnishings still grace the room. The small picture gallery off the parlor contains some original ilustrations for Inving's work. The kitchen was quite advanced for its
