Waldheim (Scarborough)

Today, the estate's red-brick wall is still visible on the borders of Scarborough and Holbrook roads going as far south as where the entrance is to Philips Laboratories.

[2] By 1901, the Waldheim estate covered approximately 100 acres that held large meadows, a small lake, orchards, gardens of vegetables and flowers, and portions of woods that were left undisturbed.

[1] The structures on the estate by 1901 consisted of a lodge made of white stone near where the red-brick wall was broken by the main gateway.

[1] Waldheim itself was large with a wide veranda on three sides, high windows and several gables, all of which looked out over the meadows and gardens of the estate.

[1] When compared to other local wealthy landowners in the Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough area, James Speyer conducted Waldheim in a more "aristocratic European manner".
