Rockefeller Housed in a Labyrinth

~ took formal possession of his new
million dollar house at Pocantico Hills
the other day. He arranged at the
same time to station Is watchmen.
two detectives, and one great blood
hound to guard himself and his family
from annoyance.
The new house, ii develops, as it
stands completed, with surrounding
terraces and high stone walls, is one
of the most inaccessible homes in this
country-a labyrinth of winding walks,
blind passages, and hidden steps hav-
ing been constructed with the idea of
confusing any day or night intruder.
Even the playhouse" which is in
tended for Mr.. Rockefellers grand
children, is connected with the resi-
dence by tunnel, or half sunken COW
cred passageway. The whole building
seems to have been planned TO make
an approach by an outsider almost
impossible.
There is only one main entrance,
and this is through a gateway. The
house is built backward, too. What
appears to be an imposing, colonial
'front.' looking in the direction of the
Hudson river is the rear of the resi-
dence.
There is a subbasement besides the
main basement, and broad walks lead
The Yale expositor., 1908-10-30

past terraces to what might be taken
for the main entrance. Instead they
lead to blind walls.
No steps are discernible whatsoever
The visitor suddenly finds himself
standing on a terrace looking up one
and half stories over a series OF
stone walls to what appears to be the
living part of the house.
The side approaches to the broad
piazzas which half eucircle the house
are concealed, and only one familiar
with the secret of the labyrinth could
gain access to any part of the building
unless entrance was made through the
gateway.
This astonishing inaccessibility OF
the house is common to all sides save
the front, which faces a commodious
red brick stable To add TO the maze
or labyrinth of walls and concealed
steps, hundreds of shrubs have been
planted on the terraces and one wide
graveled walk. lined with small pop
lar trees, encircles the house. 1t leads
to no place in particular and it adds
greatly to the general effect of well
planned ornamentation.
The bloodhound on guard is said &c
be of keen scent. AS one of the Is

through an ambition to become very

have lost the money of the depositors

his own story, he has falsified the

Albert was born June 10, 1851. His
father was prominent in politics and
was the founder of the bank which has
been ruined. The young man was bred
to the law and practiced the profess

this practice he developed talent for
organization, starting a fire insurance

rapid descent bruised him badly. He

a stranger in the mountains.

could not climb out. Their quest for
an exit continued Sunday night and
all day Monday, and after dark they
attained a high point and could dis
