The Josiah Copley Thaw Estate

The Josiah Copley Thaw estate was one of the largest and most prominent homes located along Gin Lane. It's family also had a prominence it may not have wanted. The brother of Josiah was Harry Kendall Thaw, who lives on in history as the man who killed famous architect, Stanford White in 1906. Many houses are attributed or said to have been designed by Stanford White in Southampton, but if they were built after 1906 ?
