1913: The City Farm for Inebriates and Retired FDNY Fire Horses » DurlanManorHouse
In 1842, Henry Board Wisner hired New York architect Thomas Austin and master mason John Earle to build a beautiful manor house on his farm, located on the 1766 Wisner Tract. The Wisner family sold the farm to Thomas E. Durland in 1893, and he and his Yale-educated son Jesse operated a progressive farm known for its high breed of milk cows and other dairy products sold on the New York City Milk Exchange.
