Notes: The mansion was orignally built for George McKesson Brown. Listed on his passport applications and customs forms, listed himself as a “gentleman farmer.” His estate, West Neck Farms, was in Huntington, on the north shore of Long Island. The main house was designed by Clarence Luce and built between 1910 and 1914; it was in the style of a French chateau, with towers and 40 rooms. There was a gatehouse, servants’ quarters, a stable, a garage and a boathouse where he docked his yacht and an 18-foot high speed runabout. He collected art and fine books, was a member of two yacht clubs and the New York Horticultural Society. He awoke every day to a lovely view of the ocean. - (Quoted by Virginia Loney a niece he cared for after losing her parents, while she survived the sinking of the Lusitania). It also had an indoor pool. George McKesson was affected by the 1929 stock market crash. They seld some of the land in 1934 then the main house. They moved into the gate house in 1939. (now a Unitarian church).
