Bois Doré was built in 1927. It was designed by New York architect Charles A. Platt for William Fahnestock, who came from a prominent New York banking family which founded Oppenheimer Holdings.[6]

It was later owned by Cambell's Soup heiress, Elinor Winifred Dorrance Hill Ingersoll[6] who married Vice Admiral Stuart Ingersoll, USN.

Later, it was owned by oil heiress Carolyn Mary Skelly, daughter of William Grove Skelly. She was once dubbed the "most robbed woman in the US" by the Boston Globe.[7] The estate is currently owned by Fairfax & Sammons Properties LLC.[8]

The mansion was sold in 2021 for $8.99 million.[5]
