"Wereholme"

USA / New York / Islip /
 residence, LIGC - Long Island Gold Coast
Built c. 1917 for Louisine Peters and her husband, Harold Weekes, inspired by a French chateau, by architect Grosvenor Atterbury. Peters was the daughter of banker Samuel T. Peters, and she inherited this western portion of the Windholme estate when her father died in 1921. Her daughter Hathaway Peters donated the land to the National Audubon Society when she died in the 1980s and in 2004 Suffolk County purchased it as part of the Seatuck National Wildlife Refuge, reuniting the Peters estate once more.

The building now houses Seatuck's offices and the Suffolk County Environmental Center which opened to the public in April 2010.
