Experience the Historic GCU Mansion
The Georgian Court University Mansion, a landmark in Lakewood, is part of the former estate of George Jay Gould, son of the famous railroad tycoon Jay Gould. Built in the late 19th century, the mansion was designed by Bruce Price, a renowned architect known for his work on prestigious estates and buildings across the country.
The estate was later acquired by the Sisters of Mercy and became the foundation of Georgian Court University, a private institution dedicated to academic excellence and community engagement. Today, the mansion stands as a testament to Gilded Age architecture, offering a stunning backdrop for special events and educational programs.
