Despite its historical significance as the earliest extant design by Davis in the "bracketed mode," the Dr. Oliver Bronson House fell into obscurity when it was absorbed into grounds of the Hudson “©Correctional”© Facility.
The original Federal interior including the central staircase was largely preserved by Davis.

Featuring dramatic bay windows, the sun-filled parlors created a elegant backdrop for an Anthropologie shoot.
Although the entire house is magical, the most spellbinding architectural feature is the soaring three-story elliptical staircase.

The sweeping circular stairs also served as a stage for an Anthropolgie's catalog.
The front door of the house exhibits a typical Federal fan window above.
In an impressive action sequence that leaves historic house buffs happy that the producers built a replica, Jeremy Renner's character Aaron Cross runs across Davis's West Veranda, enclosed by later generations.
Throughout the house, generous windows illuminate the dramatic architectural details inside.

More details of the breathtaking spiral stairs show the attention to detail existent throughout the house.
In his 1849 addition which mirrored the original galleries of the house, Davis added an elegant enfilade of entertaining spaces connected by an octagonal gallery.
