Astor Courts (what Stanford White call it) was built as a holiday home for John Astor on his 2800-acre Ferncliff estate. The building, or sporting pavilion, was built with a formal living room, five bedrooms and ballroom-size main hall, indoor tennis court and an indoor swimming pool with a turquoise vaulted ceiling. - AsNotedIn
