Young, Edward Malcolm

Early plan for the house. An article in the Whig Standard gives a very romantic story which does not bear scrutiny, attributing the design of the house to an American architect named Stanford Warrington who married Helen Bernice Young. The source for this misconception is unknown. Mr. Young was the county clerk, and apparently a lawyer of some stature, Who died c. 1936. The design is related to the H.A.C.Taylor house by McKim, Mead and White (1885-86, Newport, R.I.), through a derivation published in a loose portfolio of coloured plates by John W. Masury and Co. c.1910, which in turn is probably reproduced from another source.
