The Rosen House Today
  Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts has embarked on a comprehensive planning project to restructure the programs and usage of the historic Rosen House on Caramoor's 90-acre campus. During this re-evaluation period, tours and general public visitation programs have been suspended, but the Rosen House continues to serve the public as a venue for year-round concerts and as an engaging learning environment for the more than 5,000 local school children who take part in Caramoor's arts-in-education programs each year. The primary goal of this project is to create a seamless harmony between the public presentation of the Rosen House and the music based mission of Caramoor. This mission was first articulated by Caramoor's founders, Walter and Lucie Rosen, who established the estate and built a Mediterranean style house, now known as the Rosen House, as its centerpiece. The Rosens filled their home with art and music, inviting friends to enjoy performances in a serene and beautiful setting. Since January 2010, consultants have been hired and a thorough examination of the house and its contents, including the Rosens’ correspondences, has begun. Already many long forgotten or unknown facts about the Rosens and their lives have been revealed. Through these discoveries, large and small, the role of the Rosen House will evolve and it will continue as the heart of Caramoor. While the public presentation of the Rosen House is being evaluated and updated, the structure is being inspected and detailed recommendations for repairs and maintenance are being catalogued. It is Caramoor’s intention to gather the funds and resources to undertake all necessary actions during the next few years.
