This site was the home of Thomas Cooper Barrow's Hole in One Golf during the 1930s. Millionaire oil baron Samuel Andrews built his massive mansion at great cost and difficulty over the years of 1882-1885. His goal was to build the grandest property on Millionaire's Row in hopes of hosting Queen Victoria of England. However, it was soon discovered that the design of the house, which included nearly 100 rooms, made it nearly impossible for the estate's many servants to function efficiently. The house, which came to be known as "Andrews' Folly," was abandoned in 1889 and demolished in 1923, making way for less ambitious ventures such as Barrow's golf range.
