'Harbor Hill'
'Harbor Hill', the Clarence Mackay estate designed by McKim, Mead & White between 1899-1905 in Roslyn as featured in a 1904 issue of the Architectural Record. The spread accompanies a large article which can be found HERE via google books. Click HERE for more on 'Harbor Hill'.
Impressive grounds! The farm house, and stables, would have been posh by today's standards. The grounds, and statues are truly reminiscent of France per Katherine's notion. They had race horses, and that wasn't something that was evident until these photos of the grounds. Wonderful blog, and am devouring it today, thank you!
