Then at the age of 84, William Cullen Bryant participated in the dedication of a memorial statue in Central Park. Later in the day, perhaps as a result, he fell and struck his head. Following his death, Cedarmere remained in the family, becoming the property of Bryant's grandson, Harold Godwin. In 1903, after a serious fire, Godwin had the current dwelling rebuilt in a style similar to the original. Today's site includes seven acres that include the house, a pond and bridge, the mill, an ice house that once functioned as Mrs Bryant's boathouse, and a tool shed.
