residence, Tudor (architecture), LIGC - Long Island Gold Coast
Estate home designed c. 1928 in the English Country [Tudor] style by Roger H. Bullard of the firm of Goodwin, Bullard & Woolsey on originally 15 acres of land for L. Martin Richmond {financier}. Richmond had served as partner of Moore & Schley, Proctor & Borden, Blake Brothers & Co. and Richmond & Myles stock brokerage firms. He also served as a governor of the New York Stock Exchange and a trustee of Manhattan Savings Bank. He commissioned formal gardens which were jointly-designed by Ellen Biddle Shipman and Innocenti & Webel. A gatehouse was also built along Cedar Swamp Road.
The estate was later owned by Edgar Frederick Luckenbach Jr {shipping}. Luckenbach served as president and chairman of the board at Luckenbach Steamship Company.
It has undergone renovations in recent years that removed all semblance of historic character. It is a frightening sight!
