Tudor Architecture originated in England in the late Gothic period and continued to be popular into the Renaissance. Its most notable characteristic was the half-timbering on the exterior; it also featured crenelated walls, large groups of rectangular windows, oriel (suspended) or bay windows, and intricate chimney complexes. The interiors usually had large central halls, wood paneling, molded plaster ceilings, and elaborately carved staircases. Tudor Revival became a popular style for the elaborate country houses of wealthy Americans. Native Granite for the exterior walls of Skylands was quarried at Pierson Ridge, above Emerald Pond, in the eastern part of the property that lies in Bergen County. The cutter was James McLaren & Sons, of Brooklyn. Pope's specifications state that "all stones must be accurately cut [and] marked by section and course number, showing the exact place where each belongs. The Stone Setter will be held responsible if stones are taken from where they belong to be put in any other place." Mrs. Salomon purchased a collection of antique Stained-Glass medallions from an English collector. These 16th-century German, Bavarian and Swiss panels were set in the leaded windows by Mr. Heinegke of Heinegke & Smith of New York City. He also set 13 modern stained-glass pictures of Lewis, his young children, various birds, farm animals and workers.
