There are also a few private residences, small businesses, and undeveloped land controlled by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Annandale-on-Hudson, despite its size, has a significant history. Blithewood, a mansion designed by Francis L. V. Hoppin, an alumnus of the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White for Andrew C. Zabriskie in 1899, replaced an earlier mansion by the same name remodeled for Robert Donaldson Jr. by architect Alexander Jackson Davis.[3] The current Blithewood was donated to Bard College in 1951 by the Zabriskie family and, today, houses the Levy Economics Institute at Bard College. The Estate was originally part of a 1660 land transfer from Native owners to Peter Schuyler.[4] The Manor Estate is another historical mansion located on campus.[5]
