A celebration of Planting Fields, one of the few surviving estates of the Gold Coast of Long Island in New York.
Stunning new photography by David Almeida, historic images, and sketches and plans by the Olmsted Brothers capture the spirit of Planting Fields in Oyster Bay, NY. Home to William R. Coe, chairman of Johnson & Higgins, and his wife, Mai, an heir to the Standard Oil fortune, this lavish Tudor-revival mansion sits on a 400-acre landscape of rolling lawns, formal gardens, and woodlands. Essays explore the evolution of the house and landscape within the context of the Gold Coast estates and the agricultural landscape that preceded them, as well as covering the future plan for the site.
