History, Heritage, and Horticulture: Inside The Fasano Team’s Exclusive Garden Tour at 95 Piping Road
There is something truly magical about the historic Gold Coast of Long Island—a place where history, architectural genius, and natural beauty intertwine.
Recently, The Fasano Team had the distinct honor of hosting a spectacular Garden Tour at the breathtaking 95 Piping Road in Locust Valley, New York. This event was not just a celebration of world-class landscape design, but also a powerful moment of community giving, raising crucial funds to keep our local neighborhoods beautiful.
If you couldn't make it to the tour, don't worry. Pull up a chair, grab a cool drink, and let us take you on a virtual walk through one of Locust Valley's most storied estates.
A Walk Through History: The Junius Spencer Morgan III Estate
To step onto the grounds of 95 Piping Road is to step back in time to the Gilded Age.
Originally built in 1916 as a grand wedding gift for Junius Spencer Morgan III (son of the legendary financier J.P. Morgan Jr.), this magnificent Tudor Revival manor was designed by the acclaimed architect Roger H. Bullard.
While the estate originally spanned a massive 33 acres, the current 17-acre parcel still preserves the grand scale, intimacy, and architectural integrity of its historic past. Walking the grounds, you can almost hear the echoes of jazz-age garden parties and historic family gatherings.
The Landscape: Masterfully Shaped by the Olmsted Brothers
While the Tudor Revival manor is an architectural masterpiece, the true star of the day was the estate’s spectacular outdoor canvas.
The grounds were originally shaped by none other than the Olmsted Brothers—the legendary landscape design firm founded by the creators of Central Park. Over a century later, their vision still thrives, offering a seamless blend of structured elegance and wild, natural beauty.
Visitors on the tour were treated to a variety of stunning features across the 17 acres:
Century-Old Oak Trees: Towering giants that have stood watch over the estate for generations, offering majestic shade and undeniable character.
The Greens: A beautifully manicured putting green and a private, one-hole golf course perfect for practicing a quiet afternoon swing.
The Bamboo Garden: A serene, transportive pocket of the estate that offers a quiet space for reflection.
Art in Nature: A curated collection of unique sculptures artfully scattered throughout the landscape, blending human creativity with the natural world.
