Great early photographs of the Roslyn Mill. It suggests the shape and size of the building varied during the 19th Century. It would be interesting to overlay the shape of the building today with one of those from the past. Thank you
Is there a way to get a tour of the work that was done or hear about the process? It’s fascinating and looks so beautiful! Even a Zoom call with the company doing the work.
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!

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
