A fascinating look at life in the Westbury area just before and after the completion of the Phipps mansion, Westbury House, in 1906. Placing the building of the estate in context with the events and innovations of the time reveals a rapidly changing landscape, both figuratively and literally, and a better understanding of what Old Westbury Gardens represents.
