The Berstadt place, at Irvington, on the
Hudson, owned BY Albert Bierstadt, the ar.
tist, was destroyed by fire this morning.

of the New York Stock Exchange, and his
family occupied the Bierstadt mansion

morning returned TO their home in Brook.

this morning when he received dispatch
saying the elegant residence from which he
had just departed was in ruins. The
building was erected sixteen years ago at q
cost of 100000. A studio IS by % feet,
with ceiling 35 feet high, was situated in
the rear Of the second story. All the
rooms were spacious. The interior was fin.
ished in hard wood. Large I Turkish rugs
took the place of carpets. The furniture
was costly, and nearly every room con-
tained from three To ten valuable pictures
Of famous artists. In the library were two
pictures of the Yosemite Valley, valued
at $4,000 each. The house was filled with
many valuable trophies and curiosities
which Bierstadt had collected in the
Yosemite Valley and elsewhere. So far as
known these valuable relics and furniture
were totally destroyed. The furniture
itself was probably worth $4,000. The
pictures and curiosities are estimated TO
have been worth nearly 500, 900 more.
