Today I went to the 1886 estate of James Stillman for a few hours. It sits on a hill overlooking the Hudson River. He was a wealthy banker during the late 1800s. I found a 1914 wheatie and 1883 Indian. I came home and did some research and found the following NY Times article from 1889 about how Mr. Stillman brought Former President Clevland up the Hudson on his yacht, then to his house where I was today. Sorry no photo yet. I'll try to post later.
