Built in 1888, for William Dick (1824-1910), a native of Hanover in Germany who made his fortune refining sugar in Brooklyn. He was a senior member of the Sugar Trust and President of the Manufacturers National Bank. This was his summer home, designed by Lamb & Rich, and when he died in 1910 he left the estate and $30 million to his son, J. Henry Dick (1851-1925). Henry continued the family sugar businesses and divided his time between here and his townhouse in Manhattan....
