The estate is home to
the 2008 Designer Show House during the month of June
and is featured on Long Island's Great Homes, House TV
and in the upcoming issue of House Magazine.
The Show House boasts interior design talent from NYC to
the Hamptons and was originally decorated by the most
famous interior designer of all time, Elsie de Wolfe,
considered the "Mother of Interior Design." Much of her
work remains today, including her beautiful trelliage
work, a rooster mosaic, working marble fountain,
Chinoserie paper mural, carved marble fireplaces, and
even some gilded cornices.
The mansion was owned by Albert A. Stewart, director and
stockholder in the Barnum & Bailey Circus and good
friend of New York City Mayor William Gaynor. Mr.
Stewart was a first class passenger aboard the Titanic
where he met his untimely fate. In 1914, James W. Lane
purchased the showhouse and dubbed it 'Suffolk House.'
He had the main house moved back from the water and up
the hill to its present day location to avoid high winds
from the sound. Under the direction of Arthur Little, a
well known architect from Boston, the exterior of the
house was transformed into a Greek Revival with 20 foot
tall fluted Corinthian columns and Elsie de Wolfe was
commissioned to take on the interior.
Encompassing almost 11,000 sq. ft and three levels of
living space, the Show House has undergone a massive
restoration over the past several years. Updated
plumbing, heating, electric, septic and other systems
have been added.
Plaster moldings and walls have been restored and floors
have been refinished.
The house boasts 10 ft. ceilings, wide plank pegged teak
flooring, ornate plaster moldings, wainscoting, French
paneling, carved marble fireplaces, 19 sets of French
doors, a 10,000 bottle wine cellar and Mosler safes.
