Estate home designed c. 1929 in the English Manor style by Roger H. Bullard of the firm of Goodwin, Bullard & Woolsey on originally 51 acres of land for Junius Spencer Morgan {financier, industrialist}. Morgan served as partner and director of J.P. Morgan & Co., director of Atlantic Mutual Insurance Co., Liberty National Bank, Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., and Continental Can Co. He also served as president of the Morgan Library and trustee of Museum of Natural History, Frick Museum, and the New York Public Library.

Morgan had purchased the former Charles Anderson Dana estate named "The Wings" which had some of the earliest known landscaping by Olmsted in 1875 from William L. Harkness. Harkness had incorporated part of the Dana house into one of his own. Morgan, in turn, remodeled that house leaving only the servant's wing as a guest house and built a main house of his own.

In 1974 the estate was sold by the Morgans to John Stockwell Samuels, III. In 1993, the estate on 21.46 acres were for sale by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York for $5.7mil.

The interior was used as a filming location for "Sabrina" and the HBO series "Succession" season 2 as the Pierce family mansion. It was later used for S2E9 of the HBO reboot of "Gossip Girl" as the site of a wealth retreat.

    Junius Morgan was JP's father, not son.

    Apologies. The Morgan family is confusing. This J.S. Morgan was the son of J.P. Morgan Jr. The original Junius Spencer Morgan was J.P. Morgan Sr.'s father, the great grandfather of this particular J.S. Morgan.

    The exterior of the house was used in the opening scenes for the 1995 remake of the movie "Sabrina", starring Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond, and Greg Kinnear.

    I have been to this house about 10-12 years ago, its still privately owned. I know for sure that a mother and son (must be in his 30's or 40's now) live in the house but I don't think they're related to the Morgans. To the right of the house in the auto court the son kept 2-3 Emu's in an open pen in the middle of the auto court. The son told me his Great Grandfather who they called Colonel built the house, which seems to be a lie.

    I used to go to this house everyday in 1988-1989. It was converted into a small private school for children. I was there for nursery school and pre-school. Very old memories of running around in the backyard and playing in the house.

    I stayed here in the summers of 90/91/92 when I worked as a Nanny. The house was owned at that time (and had for many years) by the Samuels family. A stunning house!

    A bit of trivia about West Island. One of my closest friends was a carpenter who worked for the Morgan's. There was a large house (not a mansion, but large to me), visible from the road that ran from the causeway to the creek. The house was in terrible condition, but the family liked the roof. So, scaffolding was erected to support the roof, while the entire house and foundation below was removed. Then, the present house was built up to the original roof. This was the house that Jacqueline Kennedy lived in after the assassination of her husband.

    Sorry. It was the father of my friend who was the carpenter. And, the job was done in the early 1950's.
