The Rockefeller Stone Barns (2000- 2004) An adaptive reuse to create a cultural center Pocantico Hills, New York
The renovation and adaptive reuse of the Rockefeller Stone Barns is part of the creation of an 80acre farmland preserve in Pocantico Hills, New York by David Rockefeller, Sr. and D.R. Horne & Company. The 49,000 square foot complex of Norman-style stone barns is being converted into an educational center, offices for regional organizations, and a restaurant. Originally designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, the barns were built in the early 1930s by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. on the grounds of the Rockefeller estate near Tarrytown, New York. The converted barns and surrounding preserved landscape will be maintained in perpetuity through the stewardship of a non-profit organization focused on the Hudson Valley region. The mission of the new facility’s program is to reinterpret the agricultural history of the barns and surrounding fields, while addressing its place in the larger Hudson Valley region. The education center will include classroom and lab space as well as a new greenhouse. The restaurant will feature local produce and will also work in conjunction with the education center to develop on-site gardens for teaching purposes.
