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.
