The home is 27,000 square feet (2,500 m2) and has had only three owners. In 1974, Junius Spencer Morgan III sold the estate to John Stockwell Samuels, III, a Texas-born coal magnate, prominent lawyer, and father to actor John Stockwell. In 1993, the estate on 21.46 acres (8.68 ha) was for sale by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York for $5.7 million, and was purchased by Margo Walker, a real estate broker and socialite, for $9 million.[4] In 2017, the home was put up for sale again, along with the other homes on the island, for the price of $125 million.[5]
The home's guest house, known as "Creek House", served as a weekend refuge for Jackie Kennedy in 1964, after the assassination of her husband, President John F. Kennedy.[2][6]
