'Knole' Allee

An old allee of beech trees off of Store Hill Road in Old Westbury. These trees were most likely part of some sort of feature connected to Herman Duryea's 'Knole' which is around the corner. 100 years ago, 'Knole' extended all the way to the duck pond that sits on the southern side of the L.I.E.

Knole Front Gate

The front gate to 'Knole', originally the Herman Duryea residence in Old Westbury designed by Carrere & Hastings in 1903. After Duryea moved to Europe the house was purchased by Henry Phipps as a wedding gift to his daughter Helen and her husband Bradley Martin. The house remained in the family until their son Esmond Martin passed away a few years ago at which point the house was sold and the property was unfortunately subdivided, however the house does remain intact and has a new owner.
