I've wasted two days at work looking for this house. Is it possible that it is on Ocean Ave. in Lawrence? I saw some records that said the family property "Sosiego" was in Lawrence, and the houses there seem to be more in line with the caliber of this house, but it could also be that Woodmere was part of Lawrence before it was incorporated. Either way, I can't find this house anywhere.

This house was torn down about 20 years ago. It was replaced by a private High School for boys at the corner of Ibsen Street & Howard Ave in Woodmere.
The house in Lawrence you refer to "Sosiego" was owned by his brother, Daniel Lord.
