Aerial view of James Steers's estate, Faircroft (a Great Estate), on King Street across from the Westchester County Airport. Rye Lake is behind the airport. The estate included farm fields and buildings, including the farmhouse occupied by Fred Fields, the previous owner, who continued to manage the property for the Steerses. The original estate house, built in 1095, was rebuilt in 1925 after a fire. Later owners of the estate included Claire Booth Luce and Avco Corporation, which located it's corporate headquarters there.Collection
