I n t r o d u c t i o n
The Town of Hempstead, for the most part, is located on the only plain east of the Appalachian Moun-
tains. The boundaries of the approximately sixty thousand-acre Hempstead Plains roughly corresponds in the
North to the present-day villages of New Hyde Park, Garden City, Garden City Park, Mineola, Carle Place,
Westbury, and New Cassel; Sunrise Highway to the South; and from eastern Queens County in New York
City to just east of the Nassau/Suffolk County border.1 When early settlers first viewed the Plains in its pris-
tine state, they saw a level topography, generously interspersed with small streams. Virtually treeless, it was
instead covered by five- to six-foot-high grasses and a profusion of wildflowers.
As early as the 1600s the Plains had been designated as a commons to be used by all primarily for haying
and as grazing land for cattle. It was not until 1784, when the Town of North Hempstead separated from the
Town of Hempstead, that land was assigned to individual farmers and the cultivation of the Plains began in
earnest. The scattered farms interspersed among the equally scattered villages gradually developed into thriv-
ing communities. Suburbanization, industrialization, and ultimately urbanization have created that which we
see today.2
Flat and, for the most part, unobstructed by trees, the Hempstead Plains was conducive to the early intro-
duction of sporting events. In 1665 Governor Richard Nicolls established the New Market Race Course, the
country’s first formal race track, in the northwestern section of the Town of Hempstead. Continued interest in
horseracing led to the establishment of Belmont Park Racetrack in 1905 and Roosevelt Raceway in 1940.3
Hunting was formalized as a sport when in 1877 Robert Center, William C. Peet, A. August Belmont
Purdy, and Frank Gray Griswold rented a farm from the heirs of Alexander Turney Stewart and established
the Queens County Drag Hounds Club just east of Garden City on land that would later become Mitchel
Field. In 1880 the club moved to Westchester County for two years after which it returned to the Island fol-
lowing its merger with the Rockaway Hunting Club.
In 1880 the Meadow Brook Hunt Club was organized on the future Mitchel Field site thus enabling the
Rockaway Hunting Club, which had been established in 1878 in Far Rockaway by J. D. Ceever, Louis
Neilson, George Work, Ernest C. La Montagne, Rene La
Montagne, Edward Nicoll Dickerson, and William Voss,
to lay claim to being the oldest country club in the United
States in continuous use.4
The problems encountered by the two clubs were leg-
endary. The rapid development of Far Rockaway and the
lack of adequate numbers of foxes in the area, which had
plagued the Rockaway from its inception, induced the club Rockaway Hunting Club
x
to relocate to its present site in Lawrence in 1884.5 The dramatic increase in both residential and commercial
development was a constant concern to both clubs resulting in the secession of hunting at the Rockaway by
1920.6
The Meadow Brook chose to relocate their hunting activities to the Jericho area. However, even here
they would face similar difficulties when Robert Moses proposed to construct the Northern State Parkway
through their hunting grounds. A bitter dispute developed between the club’s members and Moses. New York
State Governor Alfred E. Smith’s highly unusual and impractical solution was to create a tunnel under the
parkway so that the foxes could reach the other side of the parkway. Presumably the terrified foxes, which
were being chased by hounds and huntsmen, would have the common sense to use the underpass rather than
chance crossing the roadway.7

The intense rivalry between the two hunting clubs gradually shifted to polo. Introduced into New York
City in 1876 by James Gordon Bennett, it quickly became the rage among the Island’s socially elite. In 1881
members of the Meadow Brook Hunt Club formally incorporated the Meadow Brook [original spelling] Polo
Club. Its roster of players was a veritable who’s who of the Island’s social register.8 The club’s “Big Four,”
Harry Payne Whitney, Devereaux Milburn, Sr., and Larry and Monty Waterbury, dominated international
polo winning the Westchester Cup from Great Britain in 1909 and successfully defending it in 1911 and
1913. With the retirement of Whitney in 1914, the cup was lost and would not be regained until 1921 when
Devereaux Milburn, Sr., Louis Ezekiel Stoddard, Sr., James Watson Webb, Sr., and Thomas Hitchco*ck, Jr.
defeated the British team.9
The game reached its zenith in the 1920s and 1930s with polo players becoming the era’s celebrities.
The Meadow Brook, known as the “Heart of American Polo,” with its eight fields each larger than seven
football fields and its forty thousand-spectator International Field, became the site of the internationally
prestigious United States Polo Open and Westchester Cup matches.10
On days that matches were held, the
Island’s roads were clogged with traffic as fans attempted to reach the polo fields while other fans were
accommodated by special trains scheduled by the Long Island Rail Road. Indeed, polo had become so pop-
ular that when the DuPont Company was approached to sponsor a radio program to be aired at 3 o’clock
xi
on Sundays, the company rejected the proposal stating, “Everyone is playing polo.”11
World War II would
take a significant toll on the popularity of polo on the Island as the country’s priorities addressed the war ef-
fort. Its diminished popularity continued after the war culminating in 1953 when the U.S. Polo Open moved
from the Meadow Brook, where it had been held since 1923, to the Oak Brook Polo Club in Hinsdale, Illi-
nois, as the hub of polo activities migrated westward.12
A year later the Meadow Brook Polo Club’s site was
sold to the federal government and became a runway for
jet airplanes at Mitchel Field. The club’s activities were
relocated to Jericho and in 1968 that site was sold for a
housing development. No longer commanding the pop-
ularity of its heyday, the Meadow Brook Polo Club cur-
rently holds matches at Bethpage State Park and at the
club’s field on Whitney Lane in Old Westbury while the
Rockaway Hunting Club has shifted its emphasis to golf
and tennis.
Meadow Brook Polo Club’s
International Field
With the advent of World War I, the airplane was no longer
viewed as a phenomenon; it was evolving into an important industry and Long Island was in the forefront.
Estates that had been established by polo and hunting club members as well as others of the Island’s socially
elite in the communities of Hempstead, Uniondale, Salisbury, and East Meadow gradually gave way to the
development of the aviation industry. The large estates of William S. Hofstra, The Netherlands, Sidney
Dillon Ripley Sr., The Crossways, Elliot Roosevelt, Sr., Half Way Nirvana, Adolph Ladenburg, Heathcote,
Jacques Lebaudy, Phoenix Lodge, and Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, Brookholt, disappeared as the focus of
the Plains changed.
While most people will recognize Roosevelt Field as the site of Charles Lindbergh’s 1927 transatlantic
flight, few will be aware of or recognize the significance of Washington Avenue Field, Nassau Boulevard
Field, Hempstead Plains Airfield, Camp Mills, Hazelhurst Field, Aviation Field #2, Curtiss Field, and Curtiss
Airport in the creation and development of the aviation industry.13
Six years after the Wright Brothers’ 1903
flight at Kitty Hawk, Washington Avenue Field (sometimes referred to as Mineola Field) was established by
the New York Aeronautic Society on land leased from the Garden City Company. Located adjacent to the
present-day site of the Mineola Court House complex in Garden City, the field extended southward from Old
Country Road and was bounded on the west by Garden City’s Washington Avenue.14
The very year the field
was established, Glenn Curtiss would win the Scientific American Trophy and $10,000 when he flew a
fifteen-and-a-half-mile circuit over Mineola and Westbury in a historic fifty-eight-minute flight which origin-
ated and ended at Washington Avenue Field.15
The Hempstead Plains again came to the forefront of aviation history when in 1910 the First American
International Aerial Tournament was held at the Belmont Park Racetrack. The week-long event attracted
some forty contestants and more than seventy-five thousand spectators to watch the competitions between
xii
aviators from Europe and the United States. The event was somewhat marred when one of the highlights of
the tournament, a race from Belmont Park Racetrack to the Statue of Liberty, a hotly contested event with
national pride and international standing at stake, was won by the American entry John Moisant over the
Englishman Claude Graham White in an extremely close and disputed finish.16
Garden City’s Nassau Boulevard Field was established in 1910 because of the inadequacies at the
Washington Avenue Field. The three hundred and fifty-acre field was located in the northwestern section of
Garden City, roughly corresponding to the area between the village’s present-day Nassau Boulevard and
Merillon Avenue railroad stations. Much more extensive than the Washington Avenue Field, it consisted of
thirty-one hangers, five grandstands, repair shops, a refreshment stand, an administrative building, and
Giuseppe Bellanca’s flying school. Just one year after the establishment of the field it hosted the Island’s
Second International Aerial Tournament. It was during this meet that Earl Lewis Ovington, the country’s first
airmail pilot, made the United States’ first airmail delivery flying five and a half miles from the Nassau Bou-
levard Field to Mineola where at five hundred feet he tossed the mail pouch over the side near the Mineola
post office.
The meet also saw the first demonstration of aerial reconnaissance by the military when Lieutenants
Henry Harley “Hap” Arnold and Thomas DeWitt Milling successfully demonstrated how concealed enemy
soldiers could be located from the air.17
By 1912 the constant complaints of excessive noise by the area’s residents caused the Washington Ave-
nue and Nassau Boulevard Fields to be relocated to the nine hundred-acre Hempstead Plains Airfield, which
had been established in 1911 east of Garden City’s Clinton Road. For its time, it was a truly impressive facil-
ity with thirty-five hangers, Glenn Curtiss’ flying school, and four grandstands that could accommodate six-
teen hundred spectators.18
Five years after the establishment of the Hempstead Plains Airfield, Camp Mills was established near the
airfield as a training facility and a principal
embarkation center for World War I sol-
diers. Named for Brigadier General Albert
L. Mills, it quickly evolved from a tent en-
campment to an 838-building compound.
Facilities sufficient to support fifty thou-
sand troops included 9 administrative buildings, Camp Mills
398 enlisted men’s barracks, 36 officers’ quarters,
108 lavatories, 105 mess halls, 69 quarantine huts, 2 delousing stations, and a 2,500-bed hospital. The site
had its own water and sewer pump stations and an electrical sub-station. A Liberty Theatre, a library, and
seven post exchanges were available to the troops; three stables and two haysheds were provided for the
horses of the mounted troops.19
In 1918 Camp Mills was merged with the adjacent Aviation Field #2 to be-
come Mitchel Field, a training facility for Army pilots. With the ending of hostilities, Mitchel Field became
the only army post in the northeastern United States, the defense point for the metropolitan area, and a
xiii
center for aviation experimentation.20
With the outbreak of World War II Mitchel Field became the headquar-
ters of the army’s First Air Force and continued its role as the primary defense for the New York metropoli-
tan area. By 1945 the field had become the headquarters of the Air Defense Command for the entire United
States.
Mitchel Field would also become a victim of the area’s population density when in 1949 all tactical air-
craft were moved off the Island to other air bases. It finally closed in 1961 with most of its property being
conveyed to Nassau County. Mitchel Field was the last airfield used for military operations in Nassau Coun-
ty. Today it is the site of Hofstra University’s northern campus, Nassau Veterans’ Memorial Coliseum, the
Long Island Children’s Museum, the Nassau County Firefighters Museum, and the Cradle of Aviation
Museum together with hotels, restaurants, and a host of office buildings.
Hazelhurst Field had been established in 1917 on the site of the former Hempstead Plains Airfield as a
World War I army pilot training center, on property previously used by the New York National Guard. The
naming of the field honored Second Lieutenant Leighton Wilson Hazelhurst, Jr., who was killed in an air-
plane accident on June 11, 1912, at College Park, Maryland.21
In 1918 Hazelhurst was renamed Roosevelt
Field in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt’s son Quentin, who had trained at Hazelhurst and who was
killed in 1918 during aerial combat over France.22
Abandoned by the military after World War I, Roosevelt Field became a civilian commercial airport. By
the mid-1930s it had become the country’s largest and busiest private airport. In the period between the two
world wars Roosevelt Field became the center of aeronautical experimentation, daredevil air shows, and
record-breaking cross-country and transatlantic flights. Its decline was precipitated by a massive increase in
the area’s population, its lack of proximity to Manhattan, and the development of LaGuardia Airport which
began operation in 1939. The real estate development company of Webb and Knapp purchased two hundred
and fifty acres of the field as well as one hundred and ten acres of the adjacent Westbury Golf Club in 1951
for the construction of Roosevelt Field Shopping Mall thus ending another chapter in aviation history on the
Plains.23
In 1920 the western half of Roosevelt Field was sold to the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation
and renamed Curtiss Field. In 1929 Curtiss Field was reincorporated into Roosevelt Field when the company
built Curtiss Airport in Valley Stream. From 1930 to 1933 the Valley Stream facility was the largest commer-
cial airport on Long Island but was forced to close in 1933 due to financial pressures caused by the Depres-
sion.24
The Aviation Country Club was established on the Hempstead Plains in 1929 in what was a more unus-
ual use of the aviation facilities as the post-Lindbergh mania for flying became a leisure activity for the Is-
land’s socially elite. Seventy-six of the club’s one hundred and seventy-five members owned their own planes
while most of the remaining membership were licensed pilots. The club which, sold and rented planes, had a
landing field, hangar, mechanics, fuel, and a flight instructor. The four-bedroom clubhouse had an adjacent
swimming pool and tennis courts. In 1948 the club, which never had an accident in its almost twenty-year
history, was sold to William Jaird Levitt, Sr. and became part of Levittown.25
For a while a few of the club’s
xiv
members entertained the idea of relocating the club to a small private airport in Commack but abandoned the
idea due to lack of interest by the general membership. In 1950 the Aviation Country Club formally
dissolved. The only reminder of the club’s existence in the area is a street named Pilots Lane in Levittown.
Without question, the existence of the Island’s approximately eighty airfields contributed to the contin-
uing development of Long Island’s aviation industry. In 1917 Glenn Curtiss built a plant in Garden City for
the Curtiss Engineering Corporation. Devoted to aeronautical research and development, it was a separate
company from his Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation, based in Hammondsport, New York.26
The
Garden City facility became a training ground for aeronautical engineers who were able to test their designs
in the company’s ten-foot-diameter wind-tunnel, which
at the time was the largest in the country. In 1920 Curtiss
decided to close his Hammondsport factory and move
the headquarters of the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor
Corporation, as well as most of its airplane production,
to Garden City where his company manufactured three-
quarters of the nation’s planes.27
In 1929 the Curtiss
Aeroplane and Motor Corporation merged with Wright
Aeronautical Corporation to form the Curtiss–Wright
Corporation. Two years later the firm relocated its manu- Curtiss Garden City factory, aerial view
facturing facilities to Buffalo, New York.
Beginning with the Curtiss Engineering Corporation, the Island’s aviation industry mushroomed into
such industry leaders as Grumann (Bethpage and Calverton), Republic (Bethpage), Sperry Gyroscope
(Garden City, Lake Success, and Bethpage), and Fairchild Camera and Instrument (Farmingdale), which, in
turn, gave impetus to the Island’s numerous aviation sub-contractors.
With the end of the Cold War and the resulting reduction in the military complex, aviation companies
gradually began to merge and relocate off the Island. Today the industry, which employed about five thou-
sand workers by the end of the 1930s and which had reached its peak of some ninety to one hundred thousand
employees during World War II, accounts for only about twenty-five to thirty thousand of the Island’s jobs.
In an odd twist of fate, the military bases and the aeronautical industry they spawned on the Hempstead
Plains, once the powerhouse of the Island’s economy, became victims of the post-war boom in residential and
industrial development which they were instrumental in creating. The original flora of the Plains has been
diminished as well by suburbanization to a fraction of its original sixty thousand acres. Seventy-nine acres,
the Hempstead Plain Preserve just south of Charles Lindbergh Boulevard and nineteen additional acres
located on the campus of Nassau Community College, are all that remain.28
The estate homes in the Five
Towns area, that have survived, have, in many instances, had their architectural integrity compromised by
subsequent owners. What remains virtually untouched is what Garden City residents refer to as the original
estate area located in the central section of their village. The estate areas in the villages of Hempstead, East
Meadow, Uniondale, and Salisbury are, however, forever gone.

1. The area south of Sunrise Highway for the most part was a swampy area into which the streams from the Plains to its
north drained. Henry Hicks, with foreword by Judith A. Spinzia and afterwards by Natalie A. Naylor, “The Hempstead
Plains and It’s Flora, 1871,” Nassau County Historical Society Journal 58 (2003), pp. 30-40.
2. The population of the Village of Hempstead has risen from 2,316 in 1870 to an estimated 53,896 in 2008 while that
of Nassau County has increased from 31,134 to an estimated 1,351,625 during the same period.
3. Historians generally agree that the New Market Race Track was located in the northwestern section of the Town of
Hempstead but there is a lack of consensus as to its exact location.
They have placed the site of the tract in the present day villages
of New Hyde Park, Garden City, and Garden City Park prior to
its relocation in the early 1800s to a site three miles west of Jamai-
ca in Queens County when it became the Union Race Track.
The Belmont Park Racetrack is situated on the grounds of de
Forest Manice’s estate Oatlands. The track’s original Turf and
Field Clubhouse was the estate’s main residence. See Manice
entry in this volume.
Roosevelt Raceway was the site of an ill-fated automobile
racetrack created to host the dormant Vanderbilt Cup races, a proj-
ect that was abandoned after only two races. It became the site of
Roosevelt Raceway in 1940. Harness racing ceased at Roosevelt Vanderbilt Cup Race
Raceway in 1988.

9. Thomas Hitchco*ck, Jr. was awarded a ten-goal rating (the highest) in eighteen
of nineteen seasons from 1922 through 1940 and is considered by many to be the
great-est player in the history of polo. He was a member of the United States Polo
Open teams in 1923, 1927, 1935, and 1936; a member of the Westchester Cup teams
of 1921, 1924, 1927, 1930, and 1939; and captain of the United States Olympic Polo
team of 1924.

20. James Harold “Jimmy” Doolittle, who during World War II was awarded the Medal of Honor for planning and
leading the 1942 B-25 bomber raid on Japan from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet, was a member of Mitchel Field’s
Naval Testing Board, a high-speed airplane racer, a test pilot, and an aeronautical engineer, who took an active role in the
development of instrument flying. In 1929, while stationed at Mitchel Field, he successfully tested Sperry’s horizon and
directional gyroscopes to take off, fly, and land a plane solely by the use of instruments thereby becoming the first pilot to
ever “fly blind.”
21. Also known as Aviation Field #2, Hazelhurst was later incorporated into Mitchel Field.
22. By 1918 Hazelhurst and Mitchel Field had become the two largest airfields in the United States.

A plaque, originally installed at the Green Acres Mall but now on display at the American Airpower Museum in
East Farmingdale, honors the Ninety-Nines, an international organization of licensed women fliers, organized in 1929 at
Curtiss Airport. In 1931 the ninety-nine charter members elected Amelia Earhart the organization’s first president.

Occupation(s): capitalist - owner, Huanchaca Silver Mine, Chile
Marriage(s): 1896-1919 – Augustine Delliere

Landscape architect(s):
House extant: no*
Historical notes:
The house, originally named Phoenix Lodge, was owned by James Biddle Eustis, George Peabody Eustis,
Marie C. Eustis Hoffman, and William M. K. Olcott. In 1913 Olcott sold the house to Lebaudy, who
continued to call it Phoenix Lodge.
He was the son of French sugar refining magnet Jules Lebaudy and Amicie Piou Lebaudy. Jacques’ sister
was Countess Marie Teresa Jeanne Lebaudy de Fels.
In 1903, after inheriting $8 million from his parents, Jacques converted his yacht Frasquita into a battleship
and sailed to North Africa where he proclaimed himself Jacques I Emperor of the Sahara. After being
rebuffed by the French and Spanish governments, both of which laid claims to portions of North Africa,
Lebaudy came to Long Island. Becoming increasingly unstable, he was confined to the state hospital in
Amityville. He was released by a court order from the Amityville facility but was again institutionalized after
assaulting his wife, but, then, again released. While his wife and eighteen-year-old daughter were on the
second floor of their Long Island mansion, Lebaudy attempted to burn down the house. Hearing the noise,
Mrs. Lebaudy came down the stairs and shot him five times, killing him instantly.
In 1922 Augustine Delliere Lebaudy married her bodyguard Henri Sudreau and took up residence in
France.
The Lebaudys’ daughter Marguerite married Henri Sudreau’s son Roger and also resided in France.
*In 1926 the estate was purchased by Lannin Realty Company. In 1935 several of the estate’s service
buildings were destroyed by a second fire.
