'Pembroke' Ruins

 The grounds of 'Pembroke', the Joseph R. De Lamar estate designed by C.P.H. Gilbert c. 1916 in Glen Cove as it appeared in the 1980s before the property was subdivided.  Click HERE and HERE for more on 'Pembroke'.  Photos courtesy of Eddie Crowley.

Thank you, Eddie Crowley.

Sad, but made only worse when one sees the mindless, dull, uninspired development built there

Thank you Ed Crowley and Zach ! So fascinating to see these ruins of what once was SO beautiful. Especially those three views of the summerhouse, with that abandoned chair, amid the overgrown landscaping. So storybook ~ so untouchable ! Hopefully more of Ed's images will appear in future postings.

Wonderful pictures! Thank you!
The place actually looks more romantic as a ruin- not an attractive house, just big.

I think it a very attractive house...and one of Long Islands greatest losses.

Tragic! Thank y'all for posting not to mention the person who took them. What is the big interior room with all of the pipes running around?
