JJJ > "The Oaks", summer residence of Louis Bossert, South Country Road, 1908.

Bossert, a Brooklyn lumber dealer and real estate developer, acquired the estate from James Hazen Hyde (son of the founder of the Equitable Life assurance company) for around $400,000 in cash in August 1905. 

The estate consisted of 400 acres including 1 mile of private bayfront and featured a working farm, private railroad access, a 64-foot wide canal from the bay, an elaborate carriage house, a squash court, and a sewage and drainage plant. The main house could seat 100 guests for dinner and was originally designed by Calvert Vaux.
