The Whiteside Estate
Stockwell was in investments and timberlands, and he built the house. The house was known as the Whiteside Estate for many years. Patrick O’Neill and his wife, Virginia, raised the last of their 13 children there. It is currently owned by Gregory May, an orthopedic surgeon, and his wife, Anne Wong, a hospitalist at our local hospital.
It is believed the house was designed by a New York architect and resembles large homes found in the New England coastal area. There was a large barn in back of the house. The house has beamed ceilings and three-quarter wood-paneled walls in the dining room. There are three fireplaces, a formal front staircase and a servants’ back staircase. The top floor was servants’ quarters.
