Hempstead House Interiors

The few rooms that were partially furnished are used for events. There are lots of ornate fireplaces. Imagine the first room full of plants and ornate. Hempstead House – Sands Point Preserve

Hempstead House Lights

The chandelier and lights were nice.

Hempstead House Doors

It has been a while since I’ve had some decent doors to post for Thursday Doors – More Trip Pix – No Facilities. These are in Hempstead House in Sands Point Preserve

Hempstead House

Hempstead House and Castle Gould are in Sands Point Preserve in Nassau County, Long Island, New York. The house tour was a disappointment. It isn’t furnished and past multiple uses has destroyed a lot of the character. I will not return for another visit. I liked Old Westbury Garden much better.

Clark Botanic Garden

Clark Botanic Garden is a small place in North Hempstead, Long, Island, New York.

Old Westbury Thatched Cottage

A child’s playhouse. Read about it here: The Gardens — Old Westbury Gardens. The giant Silver Maple is impressive.

Old Westbury Structures

The old huts, benches, and fences are charming. The Gardens — Old Westbury Gardens
