At the top-left of the 'Claverack' brochure is seen 'Tenacre' the estate of Joseph P. Knapp, of 1921, designed by architect John Russell Pope. A write-up appears in "John Russell Pope - Mastering Tradition", by james B. Garrison, Acanthus Press, 2004. On pages 200 to 205 there are five illustrations, plus floor plans.
