These collections are comprised of carpets and rugs, tapestries, draperies, bed hangings, and upholstered furniture totaling approximately 6000 cubic feet. These selected collections have been housed in the house and subjected to a chronic infestation of museum pests including at least clothes moths and dermestids. The collections are being moved to a purpose-built collection storage facility, and will be treated en route through these contracted services. The NPS will provide transportation of the collections to and from a suitable off-site facility, the provision of which is to be included in this contracted service, within approximately a one-hour drive, one way, of Hyde Park, New York. Historic BackgroundThe Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site is one of three congressionally-designated sites managed jointly by the National Park Service (NPS) in Hyde Park, New York. The site comprises portions of the former country estate of Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt, known historically as Hyde Park. The Vanderbilt house was built on a ridge overlooking the Hudson River in 1895-98 by McKim, Mead and White, one of the most important architectural firms in the history of the United States. A number of important decorators contributed to the house interiors, including Georges Glaenzer, Jules Allard, and Ogden Codman, in additional to Stanford White. The interiors are richly appointed, fashionable rooms and are archetypes of the American Renaissance period. All textiles that are the focus of this contract are original to the house and therefore of high associative and historic value. The site was designated a National Historic Site in 1940 under the direction of President--and native Hyde Park resident-- Franklin D. Roosevelt, and is currently managed jointly by the NPS with FDR's home and that of Eleanor Roosevelt.
