This is Coindre Hall in Huntington, a 40 room, 30,000-square-foot mansion in the style of a medieval French château constructed in 1912 for pharmaceutical magnate George McKesson Brown. Brown lost ownership of the property after the stock market crash of 1929. The property is now owned by the Suffolk County Parks Department - the building is used for various purposes, and people can come walk the grounds. The architectural detail is amazing, particularly this copper trimmed dormer. Can you imagine constructing a building like this, and the loosing it? Wow.
