Munro who a year or two before had bought the original Samuel Palmer House (now pulled down and which stood back and a little to one side of the two enormous elms now standing east of, and near, the Larchinont Railroad crossing at the Boston Road, and about lot) feet south of the road itself) and its farm, acquired all the other lands on the Neck, except the Scott Hou^e and the mill pond on the extreme western extremitv of the Neck, and became the owner in fee simple of the whole. In his possession and that of his family it remained till the year 1845 when the part south of the Boston road, with the great house he built upon it was sold to the late Mr. Edward K. Collins. From him or his representatives it passed finally into the hands of the late Mr. Flint and his associates who upon it have erected the beautiful summer village called Larchmont.

It is sometimes styled Larchmont " Manor" but as this sketch shows the Neck upon which it is situated never was either a Manor or part of a Manor. The Munro farm was very large and the extent of the part of it below the Boston Road, some 330 acres, and the large Munro House now the chief Hotel, suggested the idea of calling it a " Manor " to the first organizers of the enterprise simply to give it prestige and name. No pleasanter place can be fWund near New York for a summer home.
