Multiple American estates, including some named after La Lanterne, have drawn inspiration from La Lanterne. • 1923 - Mrs. C. Morse Ely House An estate designed by David Adler in Lake Bluff, Illinois for Carolyn Morse Ely. • 1929 - La Lanterne in Brookeville built by Horace Trumbauer for James Blanchard Clews. This replica was actually bigger than the original. The central portion of the house was destroyed in 1952, while the wings were each converted into separate residences. The original estate gates also still stand as the entrance to Clews Drive. • 1931 - Ker Arvor in Newport, Rhode Island built by Clinton & Russell as the summer home of Snowden Andrews Fahnestock. • 1938 - La Lanterne in Gladwyne built by Walter K.
