Of the hundreds of mansions built on Long Island around the turn of the twentieth century, Old Westbury Gardens is now unique—the only one preserved in its original condition.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn 1959, Peggie Phipps Boegner generously placed Old Westbury Gardens in trust, in memory of her mother, Dita, so that the public could enjoy the place where she herself had been so happy. Maintained to the highest standards of authenticity, it is now a showcase of architecture, horticulture, and the decorative arts.","brand":"Triglyph Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48203230380287,"sku":"9781068691478","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781068691478_s600x595.jpg?v=1777991198","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781068691478","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
