"Bay Villa", the residence, on Staten Island, of Anson Phelps Stokes / photographs taken and assembled by the family
A photograph album of Bay Villa, the Staten Island residence of Anson Phelps Stokes, assembled by his family in 1880 as a private record of the house and grounds. The pictures show a Victorian villa with a turret, verandas, gravel drives and garden walks, and a designer could take from them the picture of late nineteenth-century domestic architecture and landscaped estate settings.
