Nickels and Dimes Built This Mansion
2003
Overview
Ms. [Monica Randall], of Oyster Bay, has a business renting Gold Coast mansions for films and commercials. Winfield, which is in Glen Cove, was for a time one of the more popular, appearing in hundreds of television and print advertisements and several films. No filming has been permitted for 25 years. Winfield is one of only about 100 surviving Gold Coast mansions, and even in their company, is a standout. The music room, which includes an Aeolian pipe organ and a 14-karat gold-leaf ceiling, takes up the west wing. A $2 million pink marble staircase graces the foyer, whose ceiling is trimmed in blue and 14-karat gold leaf. Monica Randall, left, has written a book about Winfield, F.W. Woolworth's estate in Glen Cove, shown above in 1917. At far left is a view of the ballroom, one of the mansion's 57 rooms. (Photo by John W. Wheeler)
