another spectacular 40 year old house bulldozed. it would be nice to find some more shots of this one esp. interiors. this is another governors mansion style. very very pretentious - i like it!! all those arches and columns - an upkeep nightmare but oh, so impressive. the wall and fence to the right is intriguing too.
Gwendolyn Rose married John William Mackay, of Harbor Hill. Family members still live in Locust Valley.
