 '''Sunnyside''', the home of the American author Washington Irving (1738—1859), is located near Tarrytown, New York, on the east bank of the Hudson River. The small estate is known for the eclectic architecture of Irving’s cottage and for its romantic, [[picturesque]] landscape. Tourists frequently visited the home during Irving’s lifetime, and it became well known to the public through published textual and visual descriptions. Today, Sunnyside is operated as a historic site by Historic Hudson Valley.

 Transportation developments helped to make Sunnyside more accessible—and also more familiar—to the general public. Daily steamship service between Manhattan and Albany, started in 1808, opened up the Hudson River Valley as a tourist destination. Members of “the traveling class” used guidebooks and binoculars to view the estates along the Hudson River [Fig. 6]. Artists turned their attention to Sunnyside in the middle and late 19th century, and the estate reached a wider audience through the publication of prints. Prints also accompanied articles about Sunnyside that were published in general-interest illustrated periodicals or in travel literature, such as the well-known descriptions written by “propagators of the Romantic style,” according to Clyde, including Richards and Nathaniel Parker Willis (1806—1867) ([[#Willis|view text]]).<ref>Clyde 1986, 134, [https://www.zotero.org/groups/54737/items/itemKey/JX5WJUE7 view in Zotero].

-Following Washington Irving’s death in 1859, Sunnyside remained in the Irving family and its appearance was largely preserved. The first substantial changes came in 1897, when Washington Irving’s great-nephew Alexander Duer Irving (1842—1911) added an addition to the north side of the cottage and replaced Irving’s original farm buildings and gardener’s cottage with new structures. Alexander Irving also made several significant modifications to the landscape at this time, eliminating public access to Sunnyside Lane, separating the old farm [[pond]] from the brook, and rerouting several driveways and [[fence]]s. In 1945 John D. Rockefeller Jr. (1874—1960), purchased Sunnyside to save it from demolition and soon thereafter opened the estate to the public. By 1960 the cottage and kitchen [[yard]] had been restored to appear as they did in Washington Irving’s time. A car park was added on the site of the old [[kitchen garden|kitchen]] and [[flower garden]]s to accommodate visitors, and the entrance to Sunnyside was rerouted from Sunnyside Lane. Visitors now approach the cottage from the east, a route that was never used during Washington Irving’s lifetime. Sunnyside’s present appearance represents a combination of Washington Irving’s original design, Alexander Irving’s late 19th-century landscape alterations, and 20th-century changes made to accommodate the visiting public.<ref>After Washington Irving’s death, Sunnyside passed to Ebenezer Irving and, upon Ebenezer’s death, to the family of Ebenezer’s oldest son.
