Шаблон:Infobox building Chanticlare (often spelled Chanteclair) was a Gold Coast estate in Flower Hill, on Long Island, in New York.
Description
Overview
Chanticlare was constructed in the 1920s for attorney and Union Carbide executive Jesse J. Ricks.[1][2] The mansion, designed in the English Tudor-style by Frederick A. Godley, featured 42 rooms – including a music room/ballroom.[1][3][4]
Failed preservation efforts
In the 1960s, following the deaths of Jesse Ricks and his wife, their children would sell off the remaining land.[1][5] Originally, the developers of the Chanticlare at Flower Hill subdivision, Edwin and Walter Ketay, wanted to save the mansion, and made attempts to do so.[1][6]
One of the plans for its preservation was for C.W. Post University (now LIU Post) to purchase it and use the space as a music school, an accounting school, and/or administrative offices, amongst other proposed uses by the school.[1][7] However, in 1967, C.W. Post ultimately chose not to buy the property.[7][8]
The Ketays soon after tried getting the Nassau County Cultural Society to occupy the home – although the plan was largely opposed by residents.[9]
With all preservation efforts failing, preserving the building proved to be too costly, and the estate was ultimately demolished in the late 1960s and replaced with an additional 4 homes as part of an amended plat map and plan for the Chanticlare at Flower Hill subdivision made by Edwin and Walter Ketay.[7][8]
Remnants of the estate
Chanticlare pipe organ
In 1968, the pipe organ formerly located in Chanticlare's music room was donated by John Ricks and Jane Ricks-King, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Ricks, to Hofstra University in honor of their late parents.[10]
The three-bank Aeolian electro-pneumatic pipe organ, valued at $115,000 in 1968, was installed in the Adams Playhouse at Hofstra, along with a memorial plaque.[11] In order to house the components of the instrument, Hofstra had to add two chambers onto the Adams Playhouse, totaling Шаблон:Convert.[11]
The donation of the organ meant that students at Hofstra studying the organ could practice on-campus as opposed to having to travel off-campus to the nearby Episcopal Cathedral of the Incarnation.[10][11]
