HISTORY: This old-world house was built in 1900 at a time when wealthy New Yorkers came to Davenport Neck for summer vacations. For many years the property was a girls boarding school before it was acquired by the Klinghart family where it was used as a retreat center. Upon the death of Mrs. Klinghart it was donated to the Mt. Sinai School of Nursing where nurses and their friends and relatives could come for overnight restoration and reprieve. After the School of Nursing closed the property was sold to Dr. Osborn, a medical doctor in the Bronx where it continued to function as a retreat center. In the year 2000 it became a non-profit health and wellness retreat Center known as The New Dawn Foundation.
Highlights of the grounds include a stone sea wall, old stone tea house, portico, wrap-around terraces and gardens. Beautiful sunrise and sunset views over the water.
