What a beautiful place!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I graduated from ESC in and loved every minute of it. VERY pleased to find this page. I could tell by the quality of the edifice that it must have been designed by a top notch firm. What a surprise it was to find this website re: the Alder Estate.
I attended Elizabeth Seton Jr. I was a shy girl… NOT Catholic by any means, but i had a father who thought the dear Sisters of Charity would whip me into shape… not so! I was one of the lucky ones back then. Elizabeth Seton was one of the most healing experiences in my life.
The Sisters of Charity helped me beyond words at a time in my life when, for me, very tragic events were happening at home. One of them, who was very dear to me, just passed away this year. I am attempting to locate someone named Nel Sheridan as well as Kathy Cantillon, and anyone else who was living at Lenoir with me.
I can be reached at: PamelaRussellPhotos gmail. I hope someone puts up funding to keep the Alder Estate up. These beautiful homes are treasures. And shame on Iona!!!! I graduated from Elizabeth Seton College in , returned to teach from to Everything was always done with such style.

We worked in the manor for their extravagant parties, the entire campus is beautifull. I miss my old school and friends. My wife attended in late 60s and we were married there in the late 70s. Ceremony in the gardens, and reception in the mansion. Great memories. I attended college there in before Iona took over. It was a beautiful small campus. One of the main reasons why I went there. I enjoyed having classes in the manor and would often attend study groups in the main hall.
They was so much to appreciate in the manor and in the gardens. They actually shot the movie Crocodile Dundee there for one scene. I hope someone will one day restore it. A lot of history there. I served as a tutor at Elizabeth Seton College in the Spring of Your pictures brought back wonderful memories of that magical, decaying garden.
The property consists of an architecturally significant manor house of 35, square feet built in that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The site also includes a former school building known as Bosch Hall consisting of 51, square feet and built in I know your original post is from , but since you are still getting comments on this post, I just wanted to let you know that I took over as event coordinator in If you get any inquiries about weddings at Alder Manor, please direct them to me.
I just wanted to clarify that I am the event coordinator for Chefs at Work, exclusive caterer for Alder Manor. I went to ESC and graduated in , it was called Boyle manor at the time, I remember the cotillions held there, the nuns lived on the 3rd floor, I remember the grand staircase, pool, and the mysterious Greek gardens. I hope someone who appreciate architecture brings it back to its grandeur. What an amazing building! When I saw the empty pool on the 2nd floor i was reminded of an episode of Black List.
Do you know, was this pool used in the filming of that show? I went to many events there in the 70s. I could not believe what had been done. This placed has been raped. Iona sold everything and anything anyone wanted to buy. Light fixtures, paneling, you name it.
I held an event there a after Tara purchased it, right after Mona Lisa Smiles filmed there. There were wires dangling from the walls; the movie company removed the lights they had put up, so our event chairman purchased wall lights and installed them. And yes, we left them. Tara Circle sold it to a developer not all that long ago. Pingback: Interior Design Pearltrees.

It was built by William Boyce Thompson, a mining tycoon and financier, as his weekend home.
At the turn of the century, large riverside estates characterized much of Yonkers; today the Thompson Mansion is one of the few to have survived the city's 20th-century urbanization. After ten years as a high school, it was upgraded to a junior college. A few years after merging with Iona College, the campus was closed. While the other buildings on the property were repurposed, the mansion fell into neglect and was looted until Tara Circle, an Irish American cultural organization, bought it from the city.
To raise money for its restoration, Tara Circle holds occasional events there and rents it out for weddings and filming for movies such as Mona Lisa Smile and A Beautiful Mind.
