Built in 1932 as a 24-room brick, French Eclectic style mansion on the hill overlooking the bay. The Staffords were active in the East Neck social scene. Mr. Stafford was a founding member of the Crescent Club and served as club president in 1939 and 1940. Mr. Stafford died in 1942. Two years later, his widow sold the 44-acre estate to Ricardo San Venero. San Venero was a builder. He acquired additional property to the east of the Stafford property and in 1946 filed a 48-acre subdivision known as Margaret Hill. San Venero eventually sold the parcel with the house to Albert V. Auserehl, who further subdivided the property in 1952 creating a public road known as Auserehl Court. The Auserehls owned Auserehl and Son Contracting Corp. Currently recognized as a Town of Huntington local landmark.
