It is approximately 27 miles from Manhattan. 1ST OWNER: Architect William T. Aldrich designed it for his brother, Winthrop Williams Aldrich, chairman of Manhattan Chase Bank & ambassador to the Court of St. James, under Eisenhower. The brothers’ father, Nelson W. Aldrich, was a U.S. senator for 30 years, & a brother-in-law, for decades considered the richest man in the world, John D. Rockefeller. 2ND OWNER: In 1950, the estate was sold to Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt II, great, great, great grandson of Cornelius Vanderbuilt, who founded the family fortune.

Woolworth, James Paul (Jimmy) Woolworth Donahue, Jr., bought the estate, which is mentioned in his biography, DANCING WITH THE DEVIL, by Christopher Wilson. 4TH/5TH OWNER: After his death, the estate was purchased by Percy Uris, who, with his brother was known for building skyscrapers, which transformed the NY skyline. After Uris died, next was Louis Evangelista, a real estate investor & builder, who transformed it into Broadhollow Estates.
