Glenfields, the former Archibald Gracie King House, is located on Old Manitou Road, a short distance from NY 9D, south of Garrison in the Town of Philipstown, New York, United States. It is a simple late 19th-century frame house with some unusual windows.
King was a descendant of Rufus King and other early New York power brokers who had married a descendant of the area's pre-Revolutionary landowners. He built the house, from a design by a local architectural firm, as a summer residence overlooking the nearby Hudson River. In 1982 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Hudson Highlands Multiple Resource Area.
