The Walker House is a Queen Anne Revival private residence located in Garrison, New York that is listed on the National Register of Historical Places. It was built in 1885 by Samuel Sloan, a prominent 19th century railroad magnate, on the grounds of his own Garrison estate, Oulagisket. In 1894, Sloan gave the Walker House to his daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband, Joseph Walker, Jr., although it had been initially used by one of his sons, William S. Sloan. Sloan built it next to Wyndune, the house that he had built and given in 1883 to Elizabeth's older sister, Margaret, and her husband, Rev. Joseph Rankin Duryee. The Walker House, Oulagisket, and Wyndune all remain today as privately owned homes, monuments to a long-ago era in the history of the Hudson Valley. Read more on Wikipedia
