Oh there's a LOT more about the Brewster wives! Eleanor Cator Brewster was my favorite. She was such an eccentric. I had a blast writing about Brewster and Corliss both in SOUTHERN BELLE TO HOLLYWOOD HELL and I still think their story would make a great film. "Reality show" hijinks from over 100 years ago!
Brewster shot a couple of films under his own production company (distribution was hell) - any way you could post/send more info about the film? I'm wondering if it was A DREAM OF FAIR WOMEN.
Excellent account revealing Prisant's role with the RLS, not mentioned in a long NYT obit. A link to a 1999 article about her renovation of a 1862 house designed by Copley near Cedarmere has been found by Friends of Cedarmere VP Tom Powell. The Times obit pictured the Roslyn Harbor house's unique boathouse, but without the house's renovation. It did mention the gardens were done by the Olmsted brothers.
Fascinating unknown history of Roslyn Harbor resident Brewster. Recently Friends of Cedarmere VP Tom Powell discovered a photo showing a silent film was shot at Cedarmere in 1919. I wonder if Brewster had any connection.

I worked at this bank in the 70’s
I recall this mural in those days
Was it replaced by this one in the 90’s?
Suzanne, the write-up on the current mural states it was installed in 1995. Howard
Yes I recall now
It was a different mural
And I think a nicer one too
Haha

Brewster was a character, all right! How else do you convince your wife to have a bevy of beauties living under your roof?
