'Panfield'

'Panfield', the Albert Goodsell Milbank estate designed by John Mead Howells (of Howells & Stokes) c. 1915 in Lloyd Harbor with landscaping by John Jacob Levison and Lewis & Valentine (on roughly 300 acres).  Milbank was a partner in the law firm Milbank, Tweed, Hope & Hadley and was chairman of the board of Borden Company.  Along with J.D. Rockefeller Jr., the two worked with the United War Work Campaign during World War I and Milbank was decorated by King Alexander of Serbia in 1922 for his post war relief efforts.  He was also a director and vice-president of the Welfare Council and was awarded their first annual medal for distinguished service in 1945.  Milbank was a founder and mayor of the Village of Lloyd Harbor, a position which he held from incorporation in 1927 until 1947.  He died in 1949 at the age of 76.  Click HERE to see 'Panfield' on google earth.
