residence, country house, interesting place, Georgian (architecture)
In 1890, Hamilton McKeon Twombly and his wife, the former Florence Vanderbilt, purchased the George H. Danforth estate on Madison Avenue and 900 acres of adjoining land to the east. Twombly hired McKim, Mead & White which was named Florham after (Flo)rence and (Ham)ilton Twombly. They also hired Olmsted to design landscaping. The design was inspired by Sir Christopher Wren's late 17th-century expansion of Hampton Court Palace.
The estate is now adaptively reused as part of Fairleigh Dickinson University.
