Description: This decayed tintype shows "Hillside Manor" in the 1870s. The house, sited on high point not far from the Great Chestnut Tree in Woodside, lay on nine acres of land with gardens laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted. Owned by Louis Windmuller, German immigrant, New York merchant, financier, and philanthropist, the estate was one of the last in Woodside to be sold for development. In the late 1930s the family sold about half the land for multistory apartment buildings and donated the other half to the City for a park, to be called Windmuller Park.
