It is a ruin of a stately property that burned down in the 1950s. In addition to the main house, the complex consists of many smaller objects such as garages, glass houses, staff living quarters ... If you use your imagination, you can easily imagine life here and also operate the rather high technical effort around such a complex away from the cities to be able to.

Initially built in the early 1900s for diamond merchant Sigmund Stern, it was then sold to Edward Cornish in 1917 (so it's also called the Cornish Estate). When Cornish and his wife died just a few weeks apart in 1938 (Edward died at his desk in NYC--rest up, everyone!), their nephew Joel inherited the estate. Joel did not live at the estate, and a fire destroyed almost everything in 1956. But you can still see the creepy ruins of several buildings, including the main hall, greenhouse, and swimming pool.
