Florence Adele Vanderbilt wedded Hamilton McKown Twombly in New York.
The Vanderbilts purchased a pre-existing mansion known as Danforth House on the property.
Mr. Twombly acquired the many parcels of land that would eventually become "Florham".
The southern drive that led to the developing mansion was completed and declared ready for use.
Frederick Law Olmsted convinced Hamilton Twombly to build a new house on the property of Florham rather than remodeling the Danforth House.
Olmsted Firm's first layouts were finished.
Olmsted Firm created the entrance from Madison Avenue.
The large circular road that surrounds the grounds was laid down.
The Italian Gardens were planned and constructed.
The Farm Complex was finished; this structure would be sold to Exxon in 1954.
