A brochure advertising '
The Playhouse', the
Jeremiah DeSmet Maguire estate in
Southampton. Maguire was president of the Maguire Rubber Co., president of Machine & Metals Co., president of Federation Bank & Trust Co. and Continental Bank & Trust Co., and president of the Railroad Utilities Co., among many others.
Ruth Swift Maguire, J.D.'s second wife, came away with 'The Playhouse' after their divorce in 1935. Ruth was the daughter of
Gustavus F. Swift, president of
Swift & Co., meat-packers. She passed away in 1945 which is likely when this brochure was produced. Click

The architect? I'll take a guess at Roger H. Bullard with the chimney design.
All the comforts of home
I find those dressing room stools faintly alarming, even a little menacing...
It is not Roger H. Bullard - I know his body of work well...
@eclecticarch: I'm interested in Bullard ... Where can I find more?
