| A LITTLE NECK OF LAND RUNNING OUT ON LONG ISLAND SOUND From a drawing by O. R. Eggers JOHN RUSSELL POPE, Architect |
A breakwater terminating in a little lighthouse makes a harbor on the Sound side of of the Marshall Field estate and a channel dug through the marshes provides quiet waters for boat landings. Beyond this are the bath houses and bathing beach, with outdoor tennis courts somewhere in the locality. The crowning glory was the salt water swimming pool, which was situated on the south side of the bath house, just off the patio. The pool was replenished weekly with filtered sea water, and required constant attention. Not far from the bathing beach is a good sized, fresh water pond which has been developed into an attractive lake. The farm group is on the Lloyd's Harbor front.

| CORISANDE |
Marshall Fields’ CORISANDE, a 50-footer built in 1923 by Gold Cup legend Gar Wood, was powered by two 450-horsepower V-12 Liberty aircraft engines that consumed 175 gallons of fuel as it raced in and out of the city every day.
CORISANDE II built by Purdy Boat Company in 1932 was 15 feet longer than the first.
The circular lagoon was intended to provide anchorage for Field's yacht CORISANDE and his seaplane. The harbor refuge was never built. Commuting with Class.
