The du Pont Guest Estate: 41,000 sqft on New York's Gold Coast

A 41,000‑square‑foot showpiece on Long Island’s Gold Coast, designed by Thomas Hastings of Carrère & Hastings, Alfred I. du Pont’s “White Eagle” was meant to be a summer retreat… yet he never spent a night there. In this episode of This House, we follow the estate’s extraordinary journey from Du Pont dream to Guest family icon “Templeton,” and its preservation today as NYIT’s de Seversky Mansion.
