The Works of P.A. Fiebiger, Inc. On par with Samuel Yellin. Website deserves exploration.
Sad for anyone who respects ones local history and fights for conservation and preservation to have witnessed the careless and thoughtless destruction of this magnificent estate while everyone thought it was safely in the protective hands of the Jesuits. Well the church's greed and the Village of North Hills ignorance was on full display as this majestic and architecturally distinguished estate was bulldozed over many decades. Drive through Norths Hills today and one only sees traffic clogged roadways, cookie cutter condos and townhouses and as bland and unforgettable a village as you possibly could imagine. NYarch
