Can anyone ID the unknown property to the west - http://wikimapia.org/#lat=40.8665357&lon=-73.6045897&z=16&l=0&m=b&v=8&show=/4904357/Unknown-LIGC
By no means a masterpiece, but nevertheless quiet, comfortable and confident, a house like this rather sits in rebuke to some of its flashier neighbors, doesn't it?
HPHS- I don't know who the original owner was, but it was owned by Oliver Grace, Jr. for many years. It's a rather ham handed Tudor rendered in a somewhat jarring "fresh from the kiln" red brick which doesn't create the happiest marriage with the green of the copper roof.
I know, I know. Everbody's a critic.
As to Meadow Farm: I ditto DED's comments, but add that to me, this is precisely the sort of house that seems to work so well on Long Island's North Shore.
Magnus - Someone had commented that the architecture matched the Nassau County Club clubhouse.
Nassau Country Club.
HPHS- it's not unlike the Nassau Clubhouse, but then again, both are rendered in a somewhat generic early 20th century Tudoresque style, so I would guess that it's just coincidental.
