Sands Point Preserve

"Went back into the files. Employer was J.J. Fay with a house at Sands Point (Not named). Sold to Howard Gould then to Daniel Guggenheim. Hopes this helps ?? Les H." Our maternal great grandfather took care of the horses there. Hempstead House. Castle Gould, a 100,000-square-foot limestone building inspired by Kilkenny Castle in Ireland that financier Howard Gould and his wife, actress Katherine Clemmons, had visited on their honeymoon, was supposed to be the main residence after Gould bought the property in 1900. After it was completed in 1904, however, Katherine refused to move in -- finding that it was too large and impersonal, said Friends of the Sands Point Preserve executive director Jean-Marie Posner. It later became a stable and servants' quarters.
