In search of refuge from New York City in the late 19th Century, the Astors, the Vanderbilts, the Westinghouses and their peers built magnificent cottages in the Berkshires during the fabled Gilded Age. So too did prominent New York attorney Charles Fanning Southmayd, who purchased a tract of land called the Oxbow from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. This 1870 Berkshires estate has been fully restored and is privately sited on 33+ acres within walking distance of Stockbridge. The 8,500 sq.ft. main house includes 8 bedrooms and is complemented by a carriage house, greenhouse, guest house, pool, studio, barn complex and paddocks, a magnificent maze, and additional formal gardens.

It was built in 1912 by Charles Whittlesey Power, a businessman and mayor of Pittsfield.
