Abstract
Description
The Pedders originally commissioned architect Henry Hudson Holly to build Glenmont. Henry Pedder was a confidential secretary for the prestigious Arnold Constable Company in New York. Unknown to the company however, was Pedder�s stealing of corporate funds to finance the construction and furnishing of lovely Glenmont. Pedder and several other employees were in on the siphoning of Constable�s largess. In 1884, Pedder�s scheme was uncovered, and he was forced to hand over Glenmont to Constable.
