Notable residences

Hillwood, Long Island: Built in 1922 in Brookville, NY after purchasing and demolishing the former Warburton Hall Estate, it was designed in the Tudor style by architect Charles Mansfield Hart. Post would keep it in the divorce and sold it in 1951 to Long Island University which later become LIU Post. Hogarcito, Palm Beach, Florida: Built in 1921 for Hutton and his second wife, and designed by noted society architect Marion Sims Wyeth. It is noted for its Spanish-style bell tower that rises some three stories above the main house. Post thought the house was too small so commissioned the building of Mar-a-Lago. After Mar-a-Lago was completed it became the home of E.F. Hutton's brother and business partner Franklyn L. Hutton, whose daughter was Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton. Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida: Built in 1927 with his second wife Marjorie Merriweather Post as a winter residence. Post would end up keeping the house after the divorce.
