(erielack) RE: "The Cedars" FOR SALE

Mike,
   I guess this goes to show "Buyer beware", can't trust a real estate agent! So anyone know where is the REAL "Cedars" estate in Peirmont, NY? Does it still exist?

Eleazar Lord lived from September 9, 1788, to June 3, 1871.  He served as President of the New York & Erie Rail Road Company on three separate terms--he was the first President September 1833-October 1835, its third from October 1839 to May 1841, and its 7th from October 1844 to July 1845.  "The Cedars"  looks like a great place but based on its date of construction and architect only Eleazar Lord's ghost could occupy it.
