Historia de la finca Phipps y los jardines de Old Westbury<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Los comienzos: De hijo de zapatero a socio de Carnegie Steel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

En 1845, Henry Phipps Sr., zapatero de Shropshire, Inglaterra, se mud\u00f3 con su esposa y sus tres hijos a Allegheny City, Pensilvania, hoy parte de Pittsburgh. Su hijo menor, Henry Phipps Jr. (1839-1930), era vecino y amigo de la infancia de Andrew Carnegie, cuya madre se encargaba de coser los zapatos que hac\u00eda el padre de Henry. Los ni\u00f1os sol\u00edan reunirse en la trastienda de la zapater\u00eda y hablar de su futuro. Estos sue\u00f1os de infancia se hicieron realidad gracias al auge de la Carnegie Steel Company, de la que Henry Phipps era socio. Su \u00e9xito se celebr\u00f3 con un regreso por todo lo alto a la casa de la infancia de Carnegie en Dunfermline, Escocia, en 1881, con su madre sentada a su lado y Henry Phipps a su lado.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jay y Margarita Phipps y Westbury House<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

En 1870, Henry Phipps se cas\u00f3 con Annie Shaffer y en 1874 naci\u00f3 John Shaffer Phipps (Jay), su hijo mayor y el segundo de cinco hijos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tras asistir a Yale y graduarse de la Facultad de Derecho de Harvard, Jay se cas\u00f3 con Margarita (Dita) Grace, miembro de la familia Grace Shipping Line. Tras la venta de la Carnegie Steel Company en 1901, Henry Phipps se jubil\u00f3 y, en 1904, le cedi\u00f3 la administraci\u00f3n de las finanzas familiares. Durante este tiempo, Jay aprob\u00f3 los planos del dise\u00f1ador londinense George Abraham Crawley para una nueva casa en 70 hect\u00e1reas que hab\u00eda adquirido recientemente en Westbury, Long Island. Tras el nacimiento de su primer hijo, Ben, en 1904, comenz\u00f3 la construcci\u00f3n de Westbury House. Simult\u00e1neamente, se dise\u00f1aron los terrenos y caminos, y se plantaron alamedas y jardines formales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

La era de las fincas: la vida familiar en Westbury<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

En marzo de 1907, Jay, Dita, Ben, Hubert, de un a\u00f1o, y la reci\u00e9n nacida Peggie se mudaron a Westbury House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Nac\u00ed el 17 de noviembre de 1906. Me trajeron a Westbury cuando ten\u00eda unos dos meses y he vivido aqu\u00ed desde entonces. Westbury House y yo somos gemelas; ambas nacieron el mismo a\u00f1o.<\/p>\nPeggie Phipps Boegner<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

En 1910 la familia se complet\u00f3 con el nacimiento de Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con su creciente familia de tres hijos y una hija, la vida en Westbury House era muy activa. Hab\u00eda fiestas de disfraces, areneros cubiertos de rosas, columpios, perros y ponis, caba\u00f1as de madera y una casita con techo de paja y entramado de madera con brillantes bordes de flores. Como regalo de d\u00e9cimo cumplea\u00f1os para su hija, la casita en miniatura se convirti\u00f3 en el lugar favorito para las fiestas infantiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A veces, la vida en Westbury House parec\u00eda girar en torno a los caballos y los deportes: hab\u00eda campos de polo, y el hijo menor, Michael, se convirti\u00f3 en jugador de 10 goles y miembro del equipo de polo de los Estados Unidos en los juegos internacionales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Westbury House fue nuestro hogar. Aunque \u00edbamos a Palm Beach cada invierno y pas\u00e1bamos parte del verano en Inglaterra, Escocia, Canad\u00e1 o Nueva Inglaterra, fue en Westbury donde echamos ra\u00edces y crecimos.<\/p>\nPeggie Phipps Boegner<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\n

A finales de la d\u00e9cada de 1950, la muerte de Dita y Jay en el lapso de un a\u00f1o alter\u00f3 abruptamente el curso de la vida en Westbury House. Un d\u00eda de junio de 1956, durante la enfermedad de su madre, su hija "Peggie" (Sra. Etienne Boegner) se sinti\u00f3 abrumada por la comprensi\u00f3n de que toda esa belleza y la alegr\u00eda que le brindaba a la familia podr\u00edan perderse para siempre. Con el apoyo de su esposo y la generosidad de sus hermanos, se encontr\u00f3 la manera de establecer los "Jardines del Viejo Westbury", un lugar para apreciar un vistazo al pasado y enriquecer la vida de las generaciones futuras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\u00ed, en 1959, Old Westbury Gardens se inaugur\u00f3 oficialmente para que los visitantes pudieran experimentar una de las pocas casas de campo y jardines intactos que quedan de la \u00e9poca de las fincas de Long Island.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
