We recently had an exhibition focusing on the Weekes family of Oyster Bay. John Abeel Weekes actually purchased this house back from the DeKays and his family lived in it for another two generations, before it was sold out of the family not long ago (in the 1980s). I can elaborate if desired.

Property was sold 2008, in private hands.
What is left of an 865-acre parcel pieced together by Mortimer Schiff 100 years ago, may not remain whole for very long. Its owner for the last 20 years put it up for sale earlier this month for $43 million.
The current 17,900-square-foot mansion was built in 1948 by John Schiff, on part of the footprint of an earlier Tudor-style house, which was three times the size of the current building, built in 1906 by Mortimer Schiff, his father.
The indoor tennis court in a Tudor-style building, the stable and some other outbuildings are original structures dating to 1928.
