Woodbury Mansion
On a commission from Ogden L. Mills, architect John Russell Pope designed this 7,500-square-foot Georgian brick mansion in Woodbury, New York in 1935. Mills was so enamored of the vistas and surroundings that he chose the site for his personal residence. The original sundial is still prominently displayed in the magnificent backyard of the home. After Mills's death the estate was converted to a private school with around 4-6 children per classroom. Today, the property has been converted back to a home and belongs to the Rosenwein family.

I draw the sword myself; take it, and hit
