8x10 glass negative photographed by James Burton in 1904 or after. Image was taken while on a photo shoot of the estate of Castle Gould, Sands Point on Long Island Sound off Port Washington, New York, showing plants in the interior of one of the greenhouses. Howard Gould (1871-1959) was a railroad financier, auto racer and a yachtsman. He married actress Katherine Clemmons October 12, 1898 and was divorced in 1909. Castle Gould was built for his first wife on Long Island Sound, Port Washington, New York which was finished in 1904. Katherine did not care for Castle Gould so Howard had Hempstead House built and added to the same site which was finished in 1912. He sold the property in 1917 to Daniel Guggenheim when he moved to Europe. Handwritten neg. sleeve info.: "B1017 / Castle Gould / Box 51".
