"Uplands "

 residence, LIGC - Long Island Gold Coast, Georgian (architecture)

Residence designed c. 1910 in the Georgian Revival style by Foster, Gade & Graham for Effingham Lawrence, II {financier}. Lawrence served as founder of the Effingham Lawrence & Co. and partner of Delafield & Delafield stock brokerage firms. In 1932, he and his wife relocated to "The Homestead" in Bayside.

The estate was subsequently purchased by J.P. Morgan to give to his daughter Jane and her husband George Nichols {cotton dealer} in 1933. Jane is credited with stopping the proposed freeway extension that would have connected Long Island to Connecticut. She hired an environmentalist to find an "endangered whatever" thereby stopping the expressway's extension that would have run through her property.

In 1934 Henry Renwick Sedgwick altered the home by adding a third floor and later in 1951, Wyeth & King performed further alterations by removing one of the wings to donate the materials towards the war effort.

Part of estate is now the Long Island Nature Conservancy's Uplands Farms Sanctuary. It was subsequently owned by former NBA player Walter Robert “Wally” Szczerbiak from 2013-2017.
