"Still House" (Matinecock, New York) | LIGC - Long Island Gold Coast

 residence, LIGC - Long Island Gold Coast

Residence designed c. 1920 in the Federal style by Bradley Delehanty with landscaping by Isabella Pendleton for Paul Drennan Cravath {lawyer, diplomat}. Cravath was a founding partner of the firm Blatchford, Seward & Griswold (now Cravath, Swaine & Moore) and was a representative of the United States Treasury at Inter-Allied War Conference at Paris in 1917 under the Wilson administration. Cravath had lived prior at "Veraton" I and "Veraton" II which were destroyed by fire in 1908 and 1914 respectively. Elsie Cobb Wilson handled decorating.

After selling "Veraton" III, Cravath resided at "Still House" until his death in 1940. In 1940, Baron Eugene de Rothschild purchased the estate. It was later owned by Seton Porter and subsequently by Dr. Harold Willids and Shirley R.P. Anderson until 1997. The farm group and outbuildings are also extant. Renovations were made recent years by Oliver Cope Architect.
