His daughter married Hall Pleasants Pennington and resided in Matinecock.

The home was purchased in 1937 by Edward G. Sperry and subsequently by Dr. Emilio Gabriel Collado, II {financier}. Collado served as first American director of World bank and an executive vice president of Exxon Corp. Additionally, he served as Deputy Secretary of State for Financial Affairs and was a designer of the international post- WWII monetary system as part of the many positions he held in the United States Department during WWII.

After remaining vacant for several years, the estate was demolished in 2024.

  • 2024 - I can’t believe this beautiful Gold Coast mansion has been torn down. I knew there were plans for a Mill River Development, but I always thought this house would be maintained / restored and retain the history of the area. Sad.
