'Blythewood'

'Blythewood', the George Smith estate designed by Henry Otis Chapman c. 1913 in Muttontown.  Click HERE for more on 'Blythewood' and HERE to see the residence on bing.  Photo from Landscape Architecture, 1917 (in a spread for the landscape company Lewis & Valentine).

Very nice. Zach, may we have a Bing view? (I have no idea where to look in Muttontown) Thanks.

Nice stately entrance ! Looking at the long drive towards the house, in the photos from the May 28tn, 2008 posting on Old Long Island, I wonder how those beautiful mature trees made out in that terrible storm of 2012 ? That would be an interesting update on a future posting !

I pass all the time and the trees seem to be intact. Is the brick house on the west side of the entrance drive original to the estate?

Thank you, "Anon." ~ you have relieved my distress !

The other brick house isn't that old. The house is on Northern Blvd, Rte 25A, across the road from Midland Farm and Farleigh and on the same side as Muttontown Country Club.
