The estate was given to the town of Brookline in 1948. The then unoccupied mansion became a frequent object of vandalism and the rear was damaged by fire, shown here. The house was deemed too expensive to restore and it was torn down by the town in 1955.

Drawn up by well-known area surveyor, Mather Withington. This plan and others by Withington would be used in court cases involving land ownership disputes.
