In a shocking display of familial wealth, the esteemed Harriman family has transferred the opulent Arden House to their eldest son, William Averill Harriman. The lavish estate, valued at $5,000,000, boasts stunning views of the Hudson River Valley from its mountainous summit. This grand gesture of love and affection was made by Mrs. K. H. Harriman, William’s mother, in consideration of her son’s 24th birthday, celebrated just last year on September 21, 1915.
Arden House, a masterpiece of luxury living, was meticulously designed by E.H. Harriman, the patriarch who envisioned an ideal country home. The sprawling estate, situated just behind Arden, New York, serves as a testament to the Harriman family’s status as one of the wealthiest and most influential in the nation.
William Averill Harriman, known to friends as Averill, graduated from Yale University in 1913 and has since become a respected member of society. His marriage to Miss Kitty Lanier Lawrence of Lenox, Massachusetts, in 1915 further solidified his position within the community.
