Mansions in May 2023: Three Fields

Mansions in May
DXV is proud to be a sponsor of the 20th Mansions in May Designer Showhouse and Gardens at Three Fields, located in the Borough of Mendham, NJ. The 9,000 square foot stone, brick, and tile-roofed French manor style home were designed by New York architect Greville Rickard for Benjamin Duncan Mosser and his wife, the former Florence Willets Mosford. Three Fields was designed and built between 1929 and 1930 and is beautifully situated on almost 36 acres of pastoral, rolling fields and features many architectural elements, including tall, steeply pitched tile roofs punctuated by dormers, wood casement windows (originally shuttered), and French doors that open to the formal gardens, ponds, and fields beyond. The façade, made up of several conjoined units - as if the house had been added to over the years - as well as roofs with built-in bumps and sags, all served to further project the romantic look of an elegant, long-established country residence.
Mansion in May is the signature fundraiser for the Women's Association for Morristown Medical Center (WAMMC), generating over $12 million since its inception in 1974 for Morristown Medical Center. Three Fields will join the list of majestic estates hosting Mansion in May and will be open to the public from May 1 to May 31, 2023.
This year's mansion will benefit the expansion and modernization of Morristown Medical Center's Institute of Bioskills Training and Innovation. The Center, opened in 2005, offers physicians, nurses, and other health professionals a safe and controlled environment in which to practice clinical skills without the risk of patient harm through simulation training. This training helps bridge the gap between theory and practice. Morristown Medical Center aims to create a state-of-the-art simulation training "hub" for its clinical team and eventually for all Atlantic Health hospitals.
