I just gave this a second closer look with more time this evening, and noticed all kinds of things---the huge formal kitchen garden nestled way down in the field, and on the floor plan, that library, with its beefy georgian trim is actually a landlocked room, surrounded on all sides.<br /><br />Fascinating house. And oh, how sad to see the fields then, and the way it looks now, all subdivided and McMansioned...no wonder you're working so hard to record it.

Every square inch of this estate was scaled just right- the size of the house, the size of the property, the gardens, the fields, the barns...<br /><br />For me this posting really tells the story of what the long island country house era was at its best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
