Side View of the Vanderbilt Mansion at Hyde Park

In 1938 a niece of Mr. Vanderbilt inherited the property and she was encouraged by President Roosevelt ( who owned a nearby estate) to donated a portion of the property including the mansion to the National Park Service. So in 1940 the National Park Service became owner of the estate.
