All those trees!! Heaven.
Off topic, when I took a tour of Inisfada a few weeks back, the Father giving the tour mentioned something about the gold coasts "Irish Row", that stretched from I.U. Willets in Albertson (I assume the Clark Botanical Gardens mansion), to Sands Point. Does anyone know about this and the families that made up that row?

They would have included among others: Francis P Garvan, Nicholas F. Brady, Clarance Mackay, WR Grace
Thank you anonymous.

John D Ryan would have also been part of "Irish Channel". Mackay was not as Harbor Hill was considerably East.
