"Burwood" (Lloyd Harbor, New York)

USA / New York / Cold Spring Harbor / Lloyd Harbor, New York
 residence, LIGC - Long Island Gold Coast, historical layer / disappeared object

'Burrwood' built for Walter Jennings c.1899 by Carrere & Hastings, extensive landscaping by Olmsted Brothers between 1915-38. Jennings was a director and secretary of Standard Oil Company and president of the National Fuel Gas Company. His son would go on to inherit the house, and eventually sold it to the Industrial Home for the Blind, which occupied the house until it was sold for development and demolished in 1994. Pieces of the gardens remain, as do a handful of brick walls and the original gates. Now stands a new stone home built by Kean Developing company.
