Early life

Pierre Lorillard III was born on October 20, 1796, the son of Pierre Lorillard II (1764–1843) and Maria Dorothea Schultz (1770–1834). His grandfather, Pierre Abraham Lorillard (1742–1776), was the founder of the P. Lorillard and Company, which provided the family fortune.

Career

Pierre was one of the original developers of Tuxedo Club, in the present day town of Tuxedo Park one of the nation's early country clubs. Lorillard owned around 600,000 acres (2,400 km2) of undeveloped land in New York’s Orange and Rockland counties, across the Hudson River. Lorillard originally envisioned a hunting and fishing lodge for himself and his friends, but the property soon grew into a large clubhouse with 22 cottages and various sports facilities surrounding a body of water long known locally as Tuxedo Lake.

Lorillard built the Italiante commercial building at 827 Broadway in New York City.
