Author and historian, W. Barry Thomson, will present a series of illustrated talks on Three Fields, the site of the 20th Mansion in May Designer Showhouse and Gardens presented by the Women's Association for Morristown Medical Center.
Three Fields, designed and built between 1928 and 1930, is a 9,000 square foot stone, brick and tile-roofed French manor style home located in the Borough of Mendham. NJ. The mansion was designed by New York architect Greville Rickard for Benjamin Duncan Mosser and his wife, the former Florence Willets Mosford.
Mr. Thomson's illustrated talk will cover the history and design of the Three Fields estate and discuss the first two families that lived there, the Mossers, who built the house, and Andrew and Dorothea Fletcher, who purchased the estate in 1949 and who were such generous benefactors to Mendham. The talk will also describe the design of Three Fields by architect Greville Rickard and the original landscape architect, Robert Ludlow Fowler Jr.
