'
Lulworth', the
Francis M. Weld Jr. estate designed by
Charles Platt between 1912-14 in
Lloyd Harbor. The estate also had
Olmsted landscaping and
Ellen Shipman (along with
Charles Platt) designed the walled flower garden and brick terrace. Weld was an industrialist and financier whose second marriage was to one of
Louis C. Tiffany's twin daughters. Weld was killed in an airplane crash in 1949. The estate's property has since been subdivided but click

any relation to Mass. Governor Weld? I believe he comes from old L.I. money.
Yes, same extended family.
I spent lots of overnights and birthday parties there as a child. My sister and I were friends and schoolmates with Robin and Charlie Platt back in the 1960s!
Spent lots of time here as a child with my old friends Robin & Charlie Platt in the 1960s!
