Got to tour this when Mrs. Leboutllier was living there -- interior & grounds were fabulous.

lil' gay boy ~ If you took any photos would you share them through Old Long Island ?

Sadly, the few I had were lost in my last move -- most were never captured as in those days I used a 35mm Minolta & the sprockets stripped on the film (a whole roll at Greentree never exposed!)

I did get some lovely shots of Mrs. Leboutllier and her cats in the garden, which she was in the process of historically restoring; when we visited, she even had the trapdoor to the loading dock below open in the main space...

lil' gay boy ~ Awwww !!! I had similar trouble once when I didn't make the film roll taut on the spool. The sprockets didn't engage the film, and the film was never exposed. Ironically it happened on a visit to Old Westbury Gardens and Eagle's Nest in 1968 !
