  • I think this is Maple Knoll built for Issachar Cozzens III{hosiery}. Nassau Property card show both Henry Morgan{Morgan Stanley founder} and Abraham Oberlin{womans apparel} as being previous owners. This is backed up by the Spinzia book and others showing they had owned this property. Architects were Rouse and Goldstone - building a red brick Georgian Revival that matches the photo at mynassauproperty. The AF Bedford estate is a shingle style with no known architect - alterations by Delano & Aldrich, landscaping by EB Shipman - when John William Davis purchased estate and named it Mattapan. Maple Knoll has gone thru alterations thru out the years.
