Comments by "Andrew Brendan" (@andrewbrendan1579) on "What Happened to the Frank Woolworth Mansion on Long Island? (Winfield Hall)" video.

I read Monica Randall's book "Winfield -- My Life in the Shadow of the Woolworths". Fascinating book. My favorite chapter was the one in which Ms. Randall told about she had F.W. Wooldworth's handwriting analyzed. It was very interesting to learn that handwriting analysis involves how people's writing deviates from the way they were taught to write, how a personal style of writing is developed. Maybe someone else can add on here but wasn't Barbara Hutton, the many times married heiress, the granddaughter of F.W. Woolworth. That poor (though very wealthy) lady had such a sad life. The money doesn't seem to have done her much good. I'm not surprised to learn of Egyptian elements in the decoration of the mansion. The Woolworth family mausoleum is built to resemble an Egyptian temple. I enjoy the mansions of the past but I would avoid visiting Winfield. I wouldn't want to get involved with the negativity and darkness of the place.
