Helen Gould's Tarrytown House (LOC)

  • Joe said:
    This is Lyndhurst, a Gothic Revival mansion begun in 1838 and expanded in 1864-65. Alexander Jackson Davis was the architect. Financier Jay Gould bought it as a summer home in 1880. After his death it became the home of his eldest daughter, Helen, and, on Helen's death, his younger daughter Anna took charge of the property. Anna left Lyndhurst to the National Trust for Historic Preservation on her death in 1961. Today it is a museum. Lyndhurst web site. Edit: The web site New York Social Diary provides this extensive page featuring many modern photographs of Lyndhurst and its grounds.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Whyaduck: thank you for the information about Lyndhurst. We will add this identification and reload the description.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The porte-cochère, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Wonder how many minks died to make those coats?

    That's railroad magnate George Jay Gould (1864-1923): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jay_Gould_I (One of his morbid claims to fame is that he was a victim of the "mummy's curse," dying from pneumonia soon after visiting the tomb of Tutankhamen.) The little girl is probably the ill-fated Gloria Gould Bishop Barker (1906-1943), who would marry twice before drowning in her swimming pool at 37: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Gould The other one is probably Edith Catherine Gould Wainwright MacNeal (Lady MacNeal) (1902?-1937), who also married twice before dying young; her son Stuyvesant Wainwright II (b. 1921) was briefly a Congressman. He's apparently at his sister Helen Miller Gould's 1913 wedding to Finley Johnson Shepard: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Miller_Gould
