I really like that style of a house, too bad they didn't keep the house for a clubhouse
Another gorgeous house torn down to be replaced by an inane entity. This house looked particularly graceful and well-designed. Such a shame. Such an interesting life; this woman grasped reality and recognized that prohibition encouraged corruption rather than curing society's ill. Really interesting. I had never heard of this woman before.
Could the golf course not have modified this to use as their clubhouse? Shame it’s gone.
Demolishing that house was a crime. There are enough gold courses on Long Island.
It would have been a perfect club house for that golf course!
Wow! That place was utterly spectacular! Id like to think that magnificent old homes like this were salvaged for their parts before being demolished. Anything else would be a sin. The Breakfast Room was particularly lovely.
Thank you Ken,
you give us the most interesting and provocative stories behind the architecture. This was a delightful story.
What a fascinating story, she was quite an interesting and influential individual. Thank you for making us aware of her story, and of her lovely home, sadly lost like so many.
Ken: The Washington, DC house pictured toward the end of this video is worthy of your attention. It is the Codman-Davis house designed and built in 1907 by Ogden Codman, Jr. for his cousin Martha Codman Karolik. For 30+ years I lived across the street, Decatur Place, NW, from this mansion in a converted carriage house. The mansion is now the official residence of the Ambassador of Thailand. As I'm sure you know, Codman, a prolific architect and designer, was born into the top tier of American society, and was a lifelong friend of Edith Wharton, with whom he co-authored the pivotal design book, "The Decoration of Houses", first published in 1897. He also worked with her as architect and designer of her beloved country house, "The Mount", in Lenox, Massachusetts. Thanks for your videos. They are always so informative and entertaining!
Intersting woman. Loved the gadrens and style of the house.
The curved desk in the library is wonderful! I'll have some Old Forester 1910 in a little while to thank her!
Thank you Ken, love your videos ❤
It's so sad seeing all these places getting demolished, yet I can see how so many were absolutely unsustainable.
How very sad these beautiful, one of a kind homes are disappearing without another thought from the developers.
So much history gone again. ❤
A beautiful home ... that should still be in existence!
Loved it, Ken. A remarkable house and an even more remarkable woman. Great to see someone make their life useful and it was an added treat to see and hear Mrs. Sabin speaking. --- Lately there was a lot of coverage about possibly demolishing the house where Marilyn Monroe lived at the time of her death and of giving the house historic landmark status. Maybe the subject for an upcoming video?
Yes! I have been doing my best to license photos, but they are some of the most expensive I’ve encountered so far so it has been taking longer than usual to aggregate enough for a video. I think it would make for a great video and I really hope that it does not meet the wrecking ball!!
Like the living room with views of the water. Glad she helped end prohibition. People drank anyway and crime got out of control.
I love the gardens.. They are beautiful.
As a subscriber since the beginning, when I start watching your videos, within a minute, I play a stupid game with myself. It's here are gone. So I guess if it's still stands or has been torn down. Great video as always. Have a great New Year, Ken!
Cross and Cross were very accomplished architects, providing Manhattan with some of its most memorable high rise buildings employing elements of the classical styles. This is the first country residence by themI have seen, and it appears to have been very knowledgeable. It is regrettable that too little is known about this firm.
There is a beautifully illustrated book on Cross & Cross: "New York Transformed: The Architecture of Cross & Cross", by Peter Pennoyer & Anne Walker, 2014, The Monacelli Press.
Oh my what a terrible waste of such a truly beautiful estate !! To be torn down for a Golf course ?? How wasteful!! Such a grand piece of beauty . The interiors were just so lovely how anyone could just level such a piece of artistic beauty for a golf course is truly appalling . Beautiful home Ken but a sad end to a lovely home .
My favorite room is the lounge/bar.
Why wouldn't you keep that house and re-purpose it as the clubhouse for the golf course? Developers are so short sighted...they can't see past the immediate dollar signs. There are no legal requirements to becoming a developer, only access to cash or credit. No license, no test and no training required in Architecture, Engineering, Urban Design, or Landscape Design. The developer has more influence over the built environment than all of the trained design professionals combined. Developers are only interested in the return on investment rather than the quality of the work.
The same part of the brain, that cocaine stimulates, money stimulates, they don’t think of anything else
There city, town councils,
Who in theory dis/approve development purposals
The developers own those guys. They are the ones financing their election campaigns.@@merryfergie
It irks me that developers keep tearing down yesterday's wonders to build the same old BS that can be built anywhere, like parking lots and golf courses. It seems to me, this house could have been turned into 'the' club house for the golfers instead of building an alternate club, a putting green, or whatever other nonsensical use the developer decided on. What a travesty.
Perhaps it is not stupidity but instead craft. Makes you think.
Just what we needed ANOTHER golf course! ☹
Either do something about it or shut the fuck up!
I enjoyed the foyer / double staircase , living room
What a magnificent estate.....it's demolition is truly a great loss.
"And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed." -Ada Louise Huxtable
After her death the property was bought by the great electrical
Labor union Local union #3 of NYC. And served as a learning center for its members until its sale
Ughhh! I feel sick since you sucker punched us with that last second demolition!! My stomach dropped!😲. You gotta give us a heads up with a place as pretty as Bayberry Land! 🥂
2:40 I would have loved if you put a picture of the top down floor plan alongside the rooms so I'd know where in the house we are
It was bought in 1949 by Local 3 IBEW and was used for retired members and educational purposes for current members. The reason they sold it was because it was costing 3 million dollars a year to maintain. Don’t forget there were 300 acres. They had a summer camp for members children named Camp Integrity and it was used by many members. After selling it they purchased the Santorini Motel in Cutchogue for way less than they sold Bayberry. The motel was in terrible condition and they had to renovate it completely and then build an educational center as well as a restaurant for members to eat at. Members can sign up for classes and stay in the renovated motel rooms with their spouse for a weekend and attend classes. As a retired member I have never stayed there but it’s a fantastic place for members to enjoy and learn. Local 3 has been very good to us and will continue to do that for years
I like a woman who fought for change
So sad. That mansion would have made a beautiful club house for the golf club.
Great story; great house. What is this style of architecture called?
The bastards ripped it down for a golf course...Pathetic!
Absolutely gorgeous home. I thankfully grew up in a home/estate that was pre- war built. It’s still standing, gracious and one of kind.
I went to summer camp there
In my next life I’d like to make a fortune selling salt
😎😎😎😎😎
Solarium And her gardens
That beautiful home torn down for GOLF! I am sad now.
Greed wins again.
A lot of powerful families made their wealth off of prohibition😮
The vile Kennedys come to mind.
A golf course….
It was a sin to destroy such an architectural treasure just so a bunch of fat grifting millionaires could play GOLF, which is one of the most wasteful uses of prime property. Golf is a bane upon the middle class and repressed people. Tearing down major treasures through the greed of corrupt developers is a monstrous idea.
😂
Oh please! Get off your high horse. There is no income requirement to play golf, and the very idea that it has a negative impact upon “repressed people” is just sheer idiocy. Would you be happier if they tore it down for a drug rehab center?
While it was indeed beautiful, it was a house, not a “major treasure” and as such was private property… but I’m sure that irks your sensibilities as well.
What’s with the silly vocal tones! You make your information sound insignificant and gossipy.
Too much back story of the owners, focus more on the homes and grounds.
@mitchellbarnow1709 he asked, move on little one.
I've seen the mansion she lived at in DC. 2145 Decatur PL. Northwest.
I do a lot of work in DC.
