| One of the many luncheons held on Saturday at the Hampton Classic Horse Show was a beautiful sit-down lunch hosted by Longines, the official watch and timekeeper of the Hampton Classic. Longines partnered with London Jewelers to celebrate The Today Show correspondent and animal enthusiast Jill Rappaport for her philanthropic efforts with the ASPCA. More than 100 guests attended the luncheon which was held in one of the chalets overlooking the Grand Prix ring. Guests included Katie Couric, Susan Saiter Sullivan, and Stuart Match Suna and family. Longines presented the ASPCA a generous donation in Rappaport's honor. |

Last Friday night at Ann Madonia Antiques on 36 Jobs Lane in Southampton, they held a cocktail reception and booksigning for authors Gary Lawrance and Anne Surchin and their newly revised edition of Houses of the Hamptons, 1880 – 1930 (Acanthus Press).
This is a beautiful book with 334 pages, illustrated with both black and white and color photographs of some of the greatest houses of the Hamptons built in the half century ending in 1930. Many of the great houses are gone, demolished by people who only wanted the land for some other projects (like breaking up the acreage and selling off the lots) or architectural choices, such as more contemporary styles. However, many remain including “Westerly” which is now the summer home of Tory Burch, and “Ballyshear” which was purchased by Mayor Bloomberg last year for $20 million, “Old Trees” on Lake Agawam in Southampton which now belongs to hedge fund owner John Paulson. One of the greatest houses, built in 1929 by Henry Francis DuPont on the beach on Meadow Lane, is no longer extant. Sold after Mr. DuPont's death, the house went through several changes including a ludicrous architectural venture by one erstwhile tycoon-of-the-moment, Barry Trupin in the 1970s to a final sale (for $21 million) to Calvin Klein who had the entire house demolished, after which he built a modern two-story glass and steel house which was featured in last weekend’s New York Times. |
