 "Even the wrought iron work is exceptional. Banisters and balustrades are all handcrafted and uniquely designed. On the terraces, beautiful wrought-iron railings represent vines and plants and even a bowl of fruit at the dining area." - Barry A. Muskat, "One Sweet Tudor on Tudor." Buffalo Spree, December 2007 (online July 2017) |

| Bathroom 2017 photos   "Tile in bath is most likely from the Mosaic Tile Co. of Zanesville OH I’m confident that the tiles of boats are Mosaic since it’s their style and sample tiles in a box left in the basement contains tiles from this company. The wall & ceiling tiles are faience." - Sherry Willoughby  "The original owners clearly had a love of boats and the sea. My guess is that they must have traveled extensively." - Barry A. Muskat  Art Deco sink ... This is a rare sink. All original. "Henry Dreyfuss designed Crane "Neuvogue" bathroom fixtures. 1936. Henry Dreyfuss was
a noted industrial designer of the 1930s and 40s. He was born in New
York City in 1904, and died in Pasadena CA in 1972. His design
work could be found in objects as varied as farm implements and
tractors to telephones, airliner interiors, to Hoover vacuum cleaners
and Polaroid cameras. For those of us interested in bathroom fixtures,
his most notable design work is found in the Crane Mfg. Co. line of
upscale bathroom fixtures, "Neuvogue". The Neuvogue fixtures
display the streamline
look of the late 1930s. The rectangular sink top was perched on a china
pedestal, or a sleek tubular chrome plated stand. "Neuvogue" sinks
featured a wide waterfall shaped integral china spout set on top of the
flat sink top, with ovoid lever handles mounted on the sides of the
spout. The basin was a distinctive half round shape." - Vintage Plumbing Bathroom Antiques (online July 2017)

Basement 2017 photos  Recreation room ... "A wonderful room in the basement is referred
to as the Recreation Room on the original plans. Its fireplace is
flanked by large daylight windows. Art glass screens conceal them, with
Greenstein’s colorful designs back-lit by natural light. The floor is a
beautiful pattern of random pieces of marble terrazzo laid in a
handsome composition." -
