Constructed during the Gold Coast era "Apple Trees" reflects the magnificence of the time when wealthy New York City businessmen flocked to Long Island's north shore to build their estates. With stately architectural elements, tall ceilings, mullioned windows and grandly proportioned rooms, the home is a distinguished memento of that fabled period. Sited on 15+ acres with a long, winding drive, the home was built as a wedding present for Junius Spencer Morgan, son of financier, J.P. Morgan. The Tudor Revival estate by architect, Roger H. Bullard, has a classic exterior of stucco with ornamental brickwork, gables, and a slate roof. Bullard later went on to design the Maidstone Club in East Hampton and the Morgan's next home, 'Salutation.' The sprawling grounds are filled with mature rhododendron, specimen trees and meticulously pruned shrubbery.
