TOURING & VISITING
Sunday Drive
We Are Taking The Rolls…….Hop In There’s Plenty Of Room
Our first stop is just down the road a piece to see daddy’s good friend John T. Nichols
Place Look Familiar ?
It Should ….It’s The William Floyd Estate
Even In The Rolls This Next Stop Is JUST Too Far…And This Isn’t The Rolls…..Are We There Yet Mamma?
It was brand new then….with no serious plumbing problems at Carl Fischer’s Montauk Manor
A quarter century or so later I would see this place for the first time while out for a Sunday Drive with my family. By then it had the dueling Musketeer Statues. Originally known a Browher’s Castle, and built about 1900. It became The Caso Basso Rest in the 1930’s It’s located on Montauk Highway in Westhampton.
Not sure where this is or who they are but by the looks of the buildings it’s somebody’s estate.
Same thing here…it could be any estate around Long Island. Like most proper places it has a Gazebo and a circular drive.
There is a short piece of film that goes with this one. I don’t recognise any of the riders, but the buildings look very much like Tanglewold Farm. Tanglewold was the W. E. Baker Estate that was right across Lon’s Creek from Moss Lots. It was the home of Nichol Floyd and in the 1920’s the home of Ella Lindley Baker who became Mrs. W. S. Dana II in 1929.
