The Mysteries of Winfield

Winfield is a haunting evocation of the vanished world of Long Island's Gold Coast, where the grandest of its palaces, built by five and dime king F.W. Woolworth, remains its only survivor. On the auction block this past July, Winfield lies hidden away behind an 8-foot wall on a remote peninsula on the North Shore. Amid the magnificence of gilded boiserie and marble is a labyrinth of secret passageways, hidden chambers and deserted tunnels that echo a life their eccentric builder never meant for us to know. Join author Monica Randall, who once lived in the home, as she guides us through this bizarre tale filled with scientific facts, suspense and practical lore. All welcome!
