- A Tribute to my mother who realized her dream of buying and restoring an old house as a B&B, but who now has alzheimer's and lacks capacity to understand and enjoy her accomplishment. House is former H.E. Donnell (don-Nell) Estate in Eaton's Neck, NY, a National Register landmark. Video is set to 1920's bittersweet music "I'm Dancing With Tears in My Eyes" and "It Looks Like Rain in Cherry Blossom Lane." See Wikipedia for more info on Donnell, the house, and Eaton's Neck, NY or our family Bed & Breakfast.
Beautiful job!
This was fun to watch
Thank you!
My friends and I toured this estate during a fundraiser the Carrs hosted for the League for Animal Protection. What a gorgeous estate! It reflects an enchanting bygone Gold Coast era. The estate is grand and elegant, yet charming. The family is wonderful and obviously talented and artistic. Mrs. Carr's sons gave an informative and engaging tour. We left awestruck - didn't want to leave! God bless their mother - what a beautiful woman! Thanks for posting - we will watch over and over.
Lovely home and had to be a very busy home when it was a Bed and Breakfast. Am sure many would have wanted to go to stay for awhile.
Quite an undertaking. These properties were built at a massive scale. A lot of work and money had to be put in. Those original owners lived there for a long time.
What an absolute treasure of a home! So cool that it’s open as a bnb too.
Ironically I was born and raised in Syosset only about a mile south of Sagamore Hill, but I never knew about this place.
This place reminds me of Teddy’s house too.
I’m dying to know how much this house is worth!
Just gorgeous! I love old homes. Houses aren't made with this kind of lasting character any more. Kudos to your mother and her dream come true.
Wow, I grew up across the street in the 70's and it used to look like a haunted house. The older kids used to tell all kinds of scary stories about the place all made up I'm sure. I believe when we lived there it was owned by the Langs, he was a very nice man. I also went to school with Eddie Carr when we were children this was nice to see because I was unaware of the history. Being a carpenter and lover of old houses it makes me happy to see it restored.
Jeez....your Mum was a genius!
What a fantastic achievement!!
I loved the music, it set the tone of the video, I found myself tapping my feet as i was thoroughly engrossed in watching this all the way through.
I spent a weekend there and enjoyed evening chats with the owner. The home and property is beautiful and I love how the owners try to keep the early 1900s decor. I hope to visit again. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful restoration!
She really did a wonderful job! The house wasn't vacant in 1996 though,... I had a friend who lived there until 1997. I'm sorry I'm nitpicky lol
What a wonderful tribute to your mother
love the whole informal summer feel throughout. nothing too fancy at all.
You must be off by a year. Former owner Robert Gerlach vacated the premises is June 1996, and bank/ court approved sale in Nov 1996. House was transferred on Jan 10, 1997 to C. Annette Carr. House was completely vacant from June '96 to Spring '97.
Love the exterior. Not so much the interior.
Great music. Who sings these two versions?
Is this the home down the long driveway across from Winkle Pt Dr? I remember trick or treating there when I was a young boy in the late 60's
tacky tacky tacky...somebody needs an interior decorator! Looks like a trailer home inside that beautiful mansion! Great restoration of the exterior though.
