Jay Estate

What do Monticello, Mount Vernon and the Jay Estate have in common? They are each being mindfully reimagined by the award-winning landscape architecture firm of Nelson Byrd Woltz led by Thomas Woltz. For the Jay Estate, Thomas Woltz and his team, including Mark Strieter and Charlotte Barrows, created a dynamic plan that underscores the cultural history of this site at a time when discussions of the relationship of race and land and public access to fresh air and green space are long overdue.
"These landscapes remind us that history is never static, telling the stories of the nation's founders while revealing the lives of Indigenous peoples, enslaved comunities, immigrants, laborers and countless others whose contributions have shaped America across generations. Through thoughtful collaboration and design, these landscapes continue to reveal new perspectives, welcome new audiences, and connect us to the many stories that have shaped America... and continue to inform its future." - NBW
All three projects are positioned to tell our whole shared history to a broader demographic of visitors. There are access points for everyone.
Overlooking Long Island Sound, the 23-acre Jay Estate was once the land of the Lenape before it became the family seat of nation-maker John Jay, who helped abolish slavery in New York State. Today the award-winning Jay Estate is a home for ideas, civil dialogue, and action about social and environmental justice and much more. Operated by the nonprofit Jay Heritage Center (JHC) for the benefit of the public, the land—particularly its stunning viewshed—gives context to the stories of its diverse inhabitants and stewards going back thousands of years.While the gardens date back to the 1700s or earlier, the revitalized space is not a “period” recreation but rather a richly interpreted rehabilitation. Lost visual and spatial relationships are reestablished. Three existing stone-walled rooms contain largely native and drought-resistant species in response to climate change. The innovative schematics include a picturesque parterre; an outdoor classroom and hands-on planting area with 16 rotating vegetable beds; a reflecting pool and sensory garden; and a 100-foot-long rose arbor and pollinator pathway. “As landscape architects, we have always known the importance of public space,” said Woltz. “And right now, the opportunity to breathe new life into an outdoor space of this historic importance feels that much more essential.”

 Preservation of critical built heritage features illuminate the daily lives of the varied inhabitants, including the Valentine Family - enslaved and freed women and men of African descent known to have lived, worked, and been buried at the Jay property. Protecting the site’s natural heritage is of paramount importance, too. The gardens increase biodiversity by replacing invasive species like mugwort, Japanese knotweed and porcelain berry with beneficial native shrubs and plants like red twig dogwood, arrowwood viburnum and American pillar rose to name just a few.
Based on years of consensus building with the community, the gardens have won numerous awards from NY State Parks, the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art (ICAA) and the Garden Club of America.

Come see the "Versailles of Rye" on Thursdays from 10am - 2pm and Sundays from 10am - 5pm. Parking and Admission are both free. Learn more about programs in the gardens at jayheritagecenter.org

It is deeply meaningful to share these sculptures at the Jay Heritage Center, a place rooted in the history of American diplomacy. Here, they connect the story of our modern embassies abroad with John Jay’s legacy as a statesman at home and diplomat abroad. — Jorge Otero-Pailos
<h3>About the Work</h3>
Analogue Sites is a series of steel sculptures by Spanish-American artist and preservationist Jorge Otero-Pailos, created in 2019 from fencing salvaged during the preservation of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, designed by Finnish-American modernist master Eero Saarinen. Otero-Pailos transformed this material as a way of preserving its layered history and drawing attention to the U.S. Embassy Program—an unprecedented Cold War–era initiative by the State Department that made modernist architecture and the arts central to American diplomacy abroad. These sculptures raise awareness of these embassies at a time when they are being decommissioned and left with little to no preservation protection.
At the Jay Heritage Center, two works are placed symmetrically in the restored garden parterres, framing the central path. Their mirrored placement reflects themes of balance and reciprocity central to diplomacy and honors John Jay’s historic missions to Spain, France, and England, and his role as a founding figure in American diplomacy.
Sculptures from this series have been exhibited in New York on Park Avenue; in London at Regent’s Park and at Winfield House, the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom; and in Washington, D.C., at the National Museum of American Design.

Otero-Pailos is an internationally recognized New York–based artist, architect, and preservationist known for his monumental casts of historical buildings. He has exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Venice Art Biennale and the British Parliament, and his works are held in major museum collections. Otero-Pailos also teaches and directs the Historic Preservation program at Columbia University GSAPP.

Zion Memorial Chapel 30 Years Celebration

Zion Memorial Chapel 

Zion Memorial Chapel, Westchester Country’s ONLY, all-Jewish, free standing and independent funeral home, is celebrating its 30th year.  Opened in 1996 under the advice and direction of Rabbi Steven Ziskind, a mentor and friend of Vincent Graziano, Zion was predicated on the belief that the Jewish community deserved better and more options when it came to burying their loved ones.  Zion, with no conglomerate affiliations and no shared facilities, has been able to maintain better than competitive costs over the years.  They remain, in fact, the lowest cost Jewish funeral provider in Westchester County and are proud of such.  Zion Memorial Chapel has created strong bonds with area rabbis who recognized the firm’s unique attention to detail and heightened compassion towards grieving families.  Zion continues to provide Westchester’s Jewish community with what others can not; a large facility not shared with another funeral home, thereby not impeding families who chose to have services and their desired dates and times. The directors and staff of Zion Memorial Chapel have a heightened knowledge and deep respect for the Jewish faith and culture which families witness firsthand.  For more information on the unique features of Zion Memorial Chapel , call 914-381-1809 or visit us at www.zionchapel.com
