Polhemus & Coffin, Architects - New York, NY - 1919 - 1954
Henry M. Polhemus and Lewis Augustus Coffin, Jr formed the New York-based architectural firm of Polhemus & Coffin. Together they contributed to a joint publication, Small French Buildings: The Architecture of Town and Country,[1] with 183 plates of illustrations, which was published by Scribner's in 1921. Their modest French country house "Millefleurs" for Mrs Daniel Guggenheim on the extensive Gould-Guggenheim estate in Port Washington, New York, on the Gold Coast of Long Island, was completed in 1932; it is modeled on the vineyard Château Beauregard, Pommerol. In Newport, Rhode Island, they designed "Champ Soleil" , on Bellevue Avenue, a small 22-room French manor that was completed in 1929; it was equally said to be modeled on a French Norman chateau and on "La Lanterne", a residence near Versailles. Champ Soleil was the residence of Russell Aitken, artist and big game hunter, and step-feather of Sunny von Bülow.
