'
Broadwater', the
Robert Stafford estate designed by
Lionel Moses II c. 1902 in
Lloyd Harbor. Moses was a member of the firm of
McKim, Mead & White for 44 years (and I believe authored the previous articles seen in the last two entries). Robert Stafford opened the
Hotel Imperial (Click
HERE to see the hotel) on Broadway and 32nd Street in 1890 under the firm name of Stafford Whitaker. Following Stafford's death in 1896 his wife Jennie managed the hotel for 21 years until selling her stake in 1916. The Hotel Imperial was one of the first large hotels to be built in the upper Broadway section and one of the city's first fireproof hotels. Click

Think I found another playhouse/indoor tennis court up the road on the Eastfair Castle property.
