"Seaview Terrace" in Newport, Rhode Island owned by Martin Carey. His link goes to Seaviews' very own website. Full of praise for his Carey Mansion and efforts for restoration. I couldn't resist sending this email - Will Mr. Carey ever devote his efforts and money to saving and restoring the classic Delano & Aldrich designed “Bogheid’ and the historic Woolworth estate “Winfield Hall” he owns in Glen Cove, NY???<br /><br />Response - This email was reported for harassment and slander.<br />Please be advised you have been blocked from any future communication.<br /><br />"How Nice" as in a Steel Magnolia sort of way.

There are stables to the above right of the ring and there are additional stalls in the U shaped barn building to the lower right of the ring. <br /><br />At some point between the Entenmann's ownership and now the house belonged to some sort of school. There were stacks of old books and papers and children's things scattered about some of the smaller outbuildings.Zach L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04464823999255502522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807386654523336456.post-11740714290900768442011-09-28T10:39:57.393-04:002011-09-28T10:39:57.393-04:00Golly gosh!

Although there have been notable examples of circular stables, the stables here appear to be the complex of buildings to the east.The Down East Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950254669198151850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807386654523336456.post-12440640209306633262011-09-28T10:29:39.871-04:002011-09-28T10:29:39.871-04:00We're often looking at houses with riding faci...We're often looking at houses with riding facilities attached.<br /><br />Here's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HcH0yPpMJE" rel="nofollow">a new one</a> in Aiken, for just under $4 million, on what's described as "formerly the Bostwick Von Stade land."<br /><br />(Warning: Annoying soundtrack. If it matters, remember to turn off the sound on your computer before clicking that link. Then click "Show more" to reveal the realtor's blurb and the house specs.)<br /><br />The taxes on this house are likely lower than the grocery bill of anyone living in ANY of the houses we look at here. <br /><br />P.S.
