Built for Legacy: A century at Park Hill
Completed on December 24, 1923 at the height of Greenwich’s emergence as a haven for the nation’s industrial and financial elite, Park Hill is a rare Tudor Revival Manor nestled within the private Calhoun Association in Greenwich. Now celebrating its 102 years of age, the home stands as a quiet icon of the town’s architectural and cultural heritage. Ralph Brush, John’s attorney, a member of one of the founding families of Greenwich, helped John Rovensky find the 8 acres that were put together to create the original Park Hill Estate.
Commissioned by John Rovensky whose influence extended well beyond the confines of Wall Street. A forerunner in the modernization of American banking—among the early architects of systems that would later underpin the national currency and credit infrastructure—he sought a home that embodied both permanence and progress. Park Hill, with its disciplined geometry and enduring materials, was selected not for nostalgia, but for its quiet assertion of order, stability and purpose. Built of stone, brick, concrete and steel beams with a heavy slate roof, it was intended to last for generations like the old homes in Europe. Each room had its own bath and there is special heating under the slate floor in the solarium. Within, the residence was appointed with the same precision that marked his professional life: oak-paneled studies, vaulted ceilings and spaces designed for both reflection and discourse. Park Hill was not merely a retreat—it was a statement of values, built to endure.
Close to town with easy access to Greenwich's vibrant downtown. Not just a home; a piece of history. Permits in place for accessory structure. Shovel ready. Possible tennis site.
