"Caumsett" Winter Cottage Residence (Lloyd Harbor, New York)

 residence, LIGC - Long Island Gold Coast

The Winter Cottage, along with some of the servants’ quarters near the Farm group, was the first residence to be completed on the estate in 1923, and was used by the Fields until the completion of the Main House in 1925. The building, like most on the estate, was designed by the famed architect, John Russell Pope, who had designed the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Winter Cottage’s grounds were designed by Marian Coffin, a very well-regarded designer landscape architect of the day. The design for the building and grounds was very naturalistic - designed to blend in with the natural surroundings. The intricate plantings included 150 Rhododendrons, cedars, boxwoods, and hemlocks, and heather.

It is now leased by New York State as a private residence within the park after undergoing a designer showcase in 2010 to benefit the Caumsett Foundation.
