Hempstead House, Tudor mansion in Sands Point, United States
The Hempstead House estate encompasses 50,000 square feet with 40 rooms, including a 60-foot-high entry foyer and limestone exterior walls.
The estate, constructed between 1912 and 1915, served as a shelter for European children during World War II after Florence Guggenheim converted its purpose.
The mansion contains a walnut-paneled library modeled after King James I's palace and features the restored Wurlitzer Opus 445 Theatre Organ.
The estate now functions as a venue for concerts, lectures, and private events, with first and second floors spanning over 1.5 acres.
The Palm Court previously maintained 150 orchid species alongside an aviary filled with exotic birds during the Guggenheim residence period.
