Plandome Manor, New York

The Village of Plandome Manor incorporated in 1931, spurred in part by opposition to a proposal to install sanitary sewers in the area by the Manhasset Sewer District. The following year, the village annexed the territory occupied by the Plandome Country Club, which had not been included within the limits of the original territory for the village. Like the villages of Plandome and Plandome Heights to its south, Plandome Manor derives its name from the Latin 'Planus Domus', meaning plain, or level home. Author Frances H. Burnett, author of The Secret Garden, built her home, Fairseat, in Plandome Park in 1908, and lived there until her death in 1924. Burnett's son, Vivian, and his wife Constance, had erected a home nearby on Bayview Road after their marriage. Following Frances Burnett's death, her nephew, publisher Archer P. Fahnestock moved into Fairseat, but the home burned down leaving only the stucco carriage house and garden intact. In 1940, Fahnestock sold it to Leroy Grumman. == Geography ==
