The house and grounds were utterly amazing and it was a travesty that it was demolished after the golf course was built. I remember watching the golf course being constructed also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080856067525022836.post-31240031283641108722012-03-19T10:59:47.695-04:002012-03-19T10:59:47.695-04:00I went hiking with my son at Stony Creek yesterday...I went hiking with my son at Stony Creek yesterday and came across this location as well. I was also very intrigued as to what the history was. I'm so glad you found these old pictures of the estate and posted them. It was definately a spooky spot but I too would have loved to seen it in person before it was all demolished. There isn't a tennis court there anymore but there are some high chain-link fences there which I assume housed the tennis court. It would be nice if they removed the chain link fencing. I love the Stony Creek trails. I feel like I'm up north everytime I go running or hiking there.
