    The estate was initially built between 1906-1920 for Wall Street mogul Charles Hudson, but was famously sold in 1951 to King Zog of Albania, who was living in exile. Zog never occupied the mansion (he sold it just 4 years later), but local rumor had it that he'd hidden some treasures on the grounds of the estate. As the estate fell into disrepair, looters and vandals looking for treasure added to its destruction. Eventually the village of Muttontown had the mansion torn down for safety reasons. Eerie ruins of a double staircase and garden kiosks remain. This link is a picture of what the estate looked like when Zog intended to make it his home: farm9.staticflickr.com/8375/8526760216_d9d2dae31f_o.jpg
