Harris Mansion, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Today's home is another beauty in the mansion-packed area of Brookville, New York. The area is home to many estates including this one, the historic Harris mansion. Newsday's Real LI column reported back in April that the 1929 manor house was built for Henry Upham Harris, a partner at J.P. Morgan. Architect Roger Bullard created the home which is made of stone taken from the excavation of New York City's subway system tunnels. The 31-acre property has a three-bedroom cottage, gatehouse, green house, pool and tennis courts. The main house has eight bedrooms. Listing pictures show carved woodwork details, stone floors and leaded glass windows. This home is listed at $12.9 million.
