Winfield Hall on Long Island Sound
Although Taylor Swift was busy buying up practically an entire NYC city block in 2014 when she made her Blank Space video using Winfield Hall as one of the elegant backdrops, had it been for sale at the time, it is likely she would have grabbed it as well. Now busy with more homes than most would care to manage, Winfield Hall, the former Woolworth Mansion on Long Island Sound, slipped through her fingers and recently acquired a new owner. Previously on the market for $19.95 million, the mansion recently sold for $8.25 million.
Built in 1917 for Frank Winfield Woolworth, the famous five & dime store retailer, the 16-acre property includes the 32,098-square-foot main mansion and a 17,000-square-foot carriage house. It is located in Glen Cove on Oyster Bay where many captains of industry maintained homes. The area was referred to as the Gold Coast of Nassau County during the 1920s. When the mansion was completed, it was the largest private home in America.

Sadly, Frank Woolworth died only two year...
