The historic Westchester Country Club in Rye, NY designed by famed architects Warren & Wetmore in the 1920s was the site of the Jay Heritage Center's 2010 Preservation Luncheon, on December 8. Renowned designer, and JHC Advisory Board member, Alexa Hampton was the featured speaker. She is the author of the new book "Alexa Hampton: The Language of Interior Design" and captivated her audience with an engaging and colorful swathe of knowledgeable designing tips and illustrations of her work. More than 200 guests attended the event which raised over $100,000 in proceeds to benefit JHC's programs in American History, Architecture, Landscape Conservation and Environmental Stewardship.
The Luncheon was chaired by Suzanne Clary, Joan Mark, Rachel Breinin and Lauren Spelman all of Rye. A live auction featured couture jewelry from MISH and unique cultural experiences including private tours of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, picnics at Fort Jay on Governors Island and behind the scenes peeks at the Winter Antiques Show.
Guests also applauded Westchester Country Club historian, Sheila Enos who was honored for her work to preserve the photographic images and stories of generations of Rye and Harrison residents.
Alexa Hampton, president of Mark Hampton, LLC, since 1998, has annually been listed in Architectural Digest and House Beautiful as one of the country’s top interior designers. She is also the designer of a growing stable of eponymous licensed products for the home, including furniture, fabrics, carpets, and lighting. She lives in New York City with her husband and children. As an Advisory Board member, she is actively engaged in helping to restore the Jay House Dining Room in time for the JHC's spring exhibit on Slavery and the Civil War.
