"Brookwood", the Henry Miller Minton estate designed by Thomas H. Ellet c. 1929 in North Hills.

Mr. Minton began his career with the New York financial concern of Spencer Trask & Company, where he remained until he joined Church & Dwight. Mr. Minton joined the company in 1938 and was instrumental in making the logotype of one of its divisions, Arm and Hammer, the country's largest producer of baking soda.

"Brookwood" has since been demolished. Click HERE to see where estate stood at wikimapia. 1966 aerial showing estate still standing. Check THIS LINK for another Ellett rendering.

   FROM SPLIA - In 1924 Ellett designed "Ca Va," a house with garage and other estate buildings, for broker and yachtsman Carroll B. Alker on Cedar Swamp Road in Brookville. The two-and-a-half-story main block resembles a large, brick farmhouse, with a simple, pedimented center entry and end chimneys. Casement windows give the house a European aspect, and the structure is connected by hyphens to smaller, gable-roofed wings set perpendicular to the main block. Iron gates in a brick wall open from the road onto elaborately landscaped grounds that include greenhouses, a garage, and a service court.
