'
Northwood' was built for
Mortimer L. Schiff by
C.P.H. Gilbert c. 1905 in
Oyster Bay. The property was originally over 450 acres, and had a farm complex designed by
Alfred Hopkins c. 1914. James Leal Greenleaf did the landscaping. The house was demolished in 1948 by Schiff's son, who built another '
Northwood' on the same site. The estate's farm complex and main gate still survive. Click
