Publisher George Marshall Allen (1863-1941), a pioneer in color
printing, built this magnificent 1917 mansion, modeling it after the
post-medieval manor house at Compton Wynyates in Warwickshire, England.
Prominent New York architect Charles I. Berg designed the house.
Oak
paneling 400 years old, taken out of Compton Wynyates during remodeling,
adorns the entrance hall. Other parts of the interior were salvaged
from English mansions slated for demolition. From 1952 until the 1990’s
the well-known map making firm General Drafting Company occupied
Glynallen. Today it is a private home.
