The chancellor's mansion : a renovation story of family, home, history, and mystery / Jamie Arty with Susannah Charleson.
"The breathtaking story of one family's journey to restore, renovate, and preserve a historic mansion. It's a million-dollar project with gorgeous potential-and many challenges"-- Provided by publisher.
The Chancellor's Mansion tells the story of Jamie and Frantz Arty, who restored a long-abandoned historic home in Oyster Bay, New York, during the pandemic. As they revived the crumbling estate, they uncovered the rich history of its original owner, abolitionist William Townsend McCoun, and his Black servant Sophia Moore, who is buried with the family--a rare honor for the time. Blending renovation challenges with historical discovery, the book is both a tribute to preservation and a reflection on the meaning of home.
