The Raymond S. Clark Residence

The residence of Raymond Skinner Clark, designed by Alfred Hopkins in Great Neck. Clark was the manager of the New York office of William Skinner & Sons, silk manufacturers. Clark's son married Junius Spencer Morgan's eldest daughter in 1937 (the two gave the late J.P. Morgan his first great-grandchild in 1938). Unknown if the house is extant.

The Glenn Stewart Farm Group

Another farm group designed by Alfred Hopkins, this time for Glenn Stewart, a diplomat, on Feeks Lane in Lattingtown c. 1914. A 1915 map lists Greta Hostetter (Mrs. Glenn Stewart) as proprietor and a 1927 map shows Anson Wood Burchard as owner. Hostetter's mother Allene married A.W. Burchard sometime later in her life (Burchard's estate 'Birchwood' was across the street). I do not know if there was a house that accompanied these outbuildings. Click HERE to see the farm group on google earth.

'The Elms' Farm Group

The farm group for 'The Elms', owned by Clifford V. Brokaw and designed by Alfred Hopkins c. 1912 in Glen Cove. The property sat just south of Lattingtown Road above the Pratt compound (though it has since been demolished and replaced with a housing development). For those interested in Alfred Hopkins I encourage you to check out 'Modern Farm Buildings', a book Hopkins had published c. 1913 (and updated in 1920).
