Much of Rumsey's artwork was done for associates including H.P. Whitney and August Belmont. Click HERE to see a selection of Rumsey's statues. He was a childhood friend of one of the country's best polo players, Devereux Milburn, and was known as 'Pad' Rumsey on the polo field. In September 1922 Rumsey took a car ride home from NYC along with two friends. As they were passing a car on Jericho Turnpike which included Mr. & Mrs. Lathrop Brown (of 'Land of Clover' in St. James), something happened which caused the car to clip the Brown's auto, hit an abutment and spin around backwards. In the midst of the chaos Rumsey and one of his friends (neither were driving) were thrown out of the car (Rumsey hit the abutment before the ground). He was dead a short while later. His brother-in-law W. Averell Harriman and friend Devereux Milburn went to Floral Park, the site of the accident, to collect Rumsey's body. The estate was later owned by Dr. Fulton Cutting who hired Peabody, Wilson and Brown to design alterations c. 1930. Click HERE to see the Charles Cary Rumsey estate on google earth.

SPLIA Announces List of Endangered Historic Sites For 2010

From the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities:

Long Island is gradually losing connection to its rich cultural heritage through the demise of its historic environments. Every year, historic properties spanning the length of Long Island are increasingly threatened by adverse conditions that result from a variety of complex issues. Whether an outright plan for demolition, a lack of appreciation for historic value, or the inability to develop and implement long range planning, all point to the need for improved outreach, education, coordination, and region-wide support for the protection and reuse of historic resources. Recognizing this need and building on other state and national models, the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities has launched an Endangered Properties Program for Long Island.

When 'Villa La Colline' Was For Sale

A brochure advertising 'Villa La Colline', the Mrs. Henry C. Lytton estate in Roslyn. According to a NYTimes article from 1940, the house cost $200,000 to build and sold in 1929 for $500,000. This brochure must date from the late 1930s as in 1940 the estate was purchased by a real estate syndicate with plans to build a development while using the main house as a club house. That seems to not have materialized as the main house appears to have been demolished. Click HERE to see where 'Villa La Colline' stood on google earth.

The house has since been demolished.

The Westbury Drive-In

The Westbury Drive-In, opened in 1953 on Brush Hollow Road with a single screen and expanded in the late '70s to three screens. As a kid in the early '90s this was one of my absolute favorite places to go see a movie, our technique was to back our Jeep into the spot instead of parking head in, then open the trunk and put the back seats down and my sister and I would have a little room in the trunk to watch from while our parents sat outside on beach chairs. The Drive-In closed in 1998, replaced by a 12 screen indoor theatre. The Westbury Drive-In was Long Island's last, the end written about in the NYTimes found HERE.
