Winfield Hall

Winfield Hall is the former Woolworth mansion in Glen Cove, NY. Built in 1917, the huge marble manor has lingered on the market for $20 million and is now reduced to $18.9 million. The over 16 acre property can't be subdivided and there are restrictions on usage. I wasn't able to find recent interior shots of the mansion and it seems like it may have fallen into some disrepair. There are even rumors that it may be haunted. More information about the house including the allegations that Woolworth practiced the "black arts" there can be found in a book written on the subject. Ghost house or just a beautiful old home fallen on hard times?

[Thanks, Rob]

It would be appreciated if you would check your facts and before publishing misleading information. Here are the facts. The house is on the market. The land can be subdivded and the zoning is not a major issue. This is a privately owned residence and is being used as such, as well as for film and photo shoots. The house is definately NOT haunted had no involvement in the "black arts." This was a rumor started for a certain author's financial benefit. And as to the offer for a million dollars in the previous comment...You wish!

Anonomous (sic): Perhaps you should recheck your information. According to the MLS listing the property is not subdividable. All buildings on the property carry landmark status and may not be torn down or altered.
