| SKETCH OF PROPOSED RESIDENCE FOR GEORGE E. KENT BY WILSON EYRE, 1906 |
Per SPLIA "The Kent house, as built, did not reflect Eyre's hand..... and is now demolished."
In 1913 Architect William Welles Bosworth solicited bids in The American Contractor for the construction of Mr Kent's house - "Architect will take bids until March 26th. Hollow tile & stucco & cast concrete stone, tar & gravel roofing. Barrett roofing felt, oak, hazelwood, whitewood & cypress trim, oak & tile floors, marble, tile, mantels, gas & electric fixtures, Atlas or Lehigh cement."
Attorney George Edward Kent, Sr. and his wife Lillias Grace Kent were to build in the Long Island hamlet of Jericho in the town of Oyster Bay, New York. It was going to be an expensive house: about $80,000 for construction. (That's about $1.5 million today(2005) using the consumer price index, but $24 million using relative share of GDP.)

| Another example of the English type of house. The airplane view shows very clearlv how, although there are other houses in the comparatively near neighborhood, the place has been so cleverly planned for seclusion that it has the effect of being part of a big estate. Country Homes of Today |
