Crossways, the Stuyvesant and Marion Graves Anthon Fish House (1896-98). Crossways Mansion.
Fish (1851-1923) was a director of the Illinois Central Railroad and served as its president from 1887 to 1907. Mrs Fish (1855-1916), known as Mamie, a leader, albeit slightly eccentric, in New York and Newport society, ended the Newport summer season each August with her Harvest Festival Ball, held in this house. She also concocted more unusual entertainments, including a dinner for dogs and a ball at which the guest of honour was a monkey.
In the second quarter of the 20th century, this was the summer house of Ella Morris de Peyster (1881-1957), a collector of 18th-century French decorative arts, many pieces of which were bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
