It was a companion Aiglon Aerial view of Ormston, from another angle, that I discovered in a book on American architecture at the library, that started my interest in Long Island estates over fifty years ago. Great photo !

One of the best of its day. Should the order that owns this decide to sell up, we should all take up pitchforks and march to prevent its destruction---house, grounds, gardens all mostly intact and beautifully executed.
