Sober homes offer an opportunity for men and women in recovery to live together and support each other while pursuing a new life in recovery. Sober houses offer an important service to individuals in early recovery. When leaving treatment, many men and women have limited options. Independent living is difficult, and sober housing offers an attractive alternative to many options available to men and women in early recovery.

1. The stately house designed for Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt at Hyde Park is an understated masterpiece of American design.
2. Our vision is to establish 11 regional offices and 220 service areas to support 2,400 recovery homes in the VSL network.
3. Multiple local judges will be on the ballot when voters head to the polls Nov. 5, but only one of the races is contested.

This home has been open for several years, and as of September 2022, is the first Review Granada House location in Springfield, Illinois! We are proud to be a part of the legacy of this sober house and look forward to many years to come. The Vanderbilt Mansion is a home built expressly for the aristocratic lifestyle for a family whose name is the very definition of wealth and privilege. The children of William Henry Vanderbilt—at one time the wealthiest man in America—were the most prolific home builders of their era. The houses, often overbearing in their display of opulence, are a stark contrast to the stately house architects McKim, Mead & White designed for Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt at Hyde Park—an understated masterpiece of American design. All Vanderburgh Sober Living recovery homes strictly follow NARR Certification requirements and work collaboratively with NARR’s state affiliates to improve the quality of sober living for all guests.

House Rules in Sober Houses

Warren developed a scheme that would transform the halls on the first and second floors of the mansion and alter the living room. This was the only major change the Vanderbilts made to the house. Though members of elite, wealthy society, Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt lived graciously without spectacle. Typical of the grand estates along the Hudson River, life at Hyde Park was rooted in the pleasures of the outdoors and genteel agrarian pursuits.

Hyde Park was a seasonal residence, one of a portfolio of homes the Vanderbilts owned in New York City, Bar Harbor, Newport, and the Adirondacks. The house designed for Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt by McKim, Mead, & White is a masterpiece of American architecture. The architectural lines of new house built for the Vanderbilts was derived from the 1847 Langdon mansion that preceded it. Both houses exhibit the same classical concepts of simple blocks articulated by pilasters and a semicircular portico on the river facade. The new mansion, distinguished by its sturdy classicism, is grand, but not overwrought—a testament to McKim’s reserved use of classical vocabulary. We exist to ensure access to a supportive, affordable, and sustainable home for each person on a recovery journey.
