Meudon which was William Guthrie's estate, was a grand replica of the Meudon palace in France. This palatial stone mansion once sat high atop terraced hills overlooking Long Island Sound. The wrought iron fencing which surrounded this once magnificent estate, now encloses numerous private homes. There are a few clues to what was once here still exist. Huge trees line the approach to a grand stone staircase, and further on, a balustrade rail. At the top of these stairs, where once stood a palace, is a modern contemporary home. The most striking remnant is almost overlooked. High atop a hill stands a lintel supported by Tuscan columns. What once would have been a terraced, landscaped slope leading to this facade, is now just a heavily wooded hill.
