I hope you are well. Thanks to you and the Roslyn Landmark Society for documenting this and for your kind recognition. I am so fortunate to have a great team leading this project in improving Gerry Pond Park. This park is a true gem, and I am so pleased with the work that is being done.
Peter, those retaining walls throughout Country Estates were built to support the main road to Clarence Mackay's home from the Mackay Estate Gate Lodge. The above aerials show the road in 1927 and 1936. Very cool! Howard
Debra, the tour costs $20 in advance and $30 on the day of the tour. Let's hope that we will be able to do a tour in 2021.

Greg, great info, I was unaware. The path leading to the water tower still has a horse/pillar ornament mounted at its entrance, and the Dairy Man’s cottage sits at an amazing 3/4 miles away from the mansion!
Looking back at the current view of the Roslyn site, Mackay mansion was four times larger than the biggest house in the area today! He was only 28 years of age when he built the house on the hill. Sadly, there is no evidence at all today of the former estate. It’s been completely wiped off the map. THANK YOU Howard for saving those Mackay horses!
Roz and I voted today at the Roslyn Community Center. About 50 people were on line in a light rain at 5:45 pm. The line moved very quickly and we voted in around 30 minutes. It felt great to vote this year! Howard Kroplick

Great map, trying to figure out how and why there’s a massive e wall in my side yard between ash and Peach, but doesn’t appear in any of these maps
