It's on the northern side of the island toward the western end. You can see it on GoogleMaps at the tip of the peninsula left of Hay Harbor. Mrs. Robert Linderman refused $250,000 for it in 1903 when she owned it. It's now owned by David Wilmerding. There's a photo of it taken from the ferry on Wikipedia under Fishers Island. Silver Eel Cove where the ferry docks is to the left of the peninsula. Fishers Island is probably the most exclusive place for top-hatters you've never heard of. If you think Martha's Vineyard is for snobs, Fishers Island invented them. There's an article from 1965 in the Sports Illustrated archives about this place. Old lady du Pont pushed the plunger to detonate the dynamite that blew up the old country clubhouse because it was losing $50,000 a year back then. This has been an episode of The Wealthy and the Bored.
