'
Sefton Manor', built for
Lillian Sefton Thomas Dodge by
Colonel James Hollis Wells of the firm
Clinton & Russell, Wells, Holton & George in 1923 in
Mill Neck. Dodge was the president of
Harriet Hubbard Ayer Co., a cosmetics giant later purchased by
Lever Brothers, Inc.. Today the house belongs to the
Mill Neck Family of Organizations and had been used as the
Mill Neck School for the Deaf, with the house taking on the new name of '
Mill Neck Manor'. Click

Sefton Manor' on google earth. The following pictures were taken with my cell phone immediately after a thunderstorm so the quality is not great but I hope to return soon to take better photos.
The view off the rear terrace.
The gardens and landscaping were designed by Charles W. Leavitt.
