The home of the Henry Clay Frick family from 1882–1905, this meticulously restored 22-room mansion features an impressive array of fine and decorative art objects purchased by the Fricks. Clayton is currently closed to the public due to social distancing and restoration work.

The Frick Art Museum opened in 1970 to house Helen Clay Frick’s personal collection of fine and decorative arts, with outstanding examples of early-Renaissance Sienese painting and 18th-century French painting, furniture, and decorative arts.

The path that winds through the Frick’s 5.5-acre site is lined with lush gardens and a diverse selection of trees. Our active greenhouse is a renovation and partial reconstruction of one that served the Frick family from 1897 through the 1970s.
