residence, LIGC - Long Island Gold Coast, Greek Revival (architecture), historic remains
Designed c. 1934 by Charles Fuller for Elizabeth Bliss Parkinson as a wedding president from her parents, Cornelius and Zaidee Cobb Bliss. Mrs. Bliss's Aunt, Elsie Cobb Wilson, was one of the most fashionable decorators of her day and possibly had a hand in picking architect. One of the rooms with murals by Arthur B. Davies was transported from New York City and installed on-site. Parkinson decorated herself and named the estate "Duck Hill".
The estate was profiled in "Town & Country" for Aug. 1937, pgs. 60-63.
