'Birchwood'
'Birchwood', the Anson Wood Burchard estate designed by Howard Greenley c. 1906 in Lattingtown as seen during the subsequent ownership of Floyd Leslie Carlisle. Click HERE for more on 'Birchwood'. Postcard courtesy of Old Grey Dog.

Also as seen in yesterdays post, the lush landscaping out front and here overflowing planters and flower beds really complete the look of the house.

On the market.
