Honoring Our Heritage

For Chicagoans Doug Doetsch and Susan Manning, Seminary Hill in Callicoon is a homecoming: Doetsch is descended from a Callicoon family, and the couple wanted to give back to the region. The result is a handsome modern building, partially made with wood from the now-demolished Tappan Zee Bridge, with spectacular views from the orchard overlooking the Delaware River Valley.

Down the road, the cidery's Boarding House is an enchanting place to tuck in after an evening of cider-fueled revelry. It occupies two classic clapboard buildings, a former hospital and a doctor's office, and The Old Ross House, a private home across the street. Anna Aberg and Tom Roberts of the Livingston Manor design team Homestedt styled the interiors with a simple Shaker aesthetic: a soothing palette of grays and olives, wooden accents, natural linens, and old prints from a book about New York apples.
