Kemble and today�s Glen Alpin property. In 1765, Kemble built a manor house near where the current Glen Alpin house stands. Kemble, born in Turkey, was a wealthy merchant and a leading political figure in Colonial America. He served as president of the Royal Council of New Jersey under Royal Governor William Franklin, Benjamin Franklin�s only son. Glen Alpin stayed in the Kemble family until 1840, when 262 acres were sold to Henry S. Hoyt, son of a prominent New York merchant and investor, Goold Hoyt. In the 1840�s Mr Holy Hoyt built a new house, the original part of today�s Glen Alpin in the Gothic Revival style. Hoyt used Glen Alpin as a summer estate until 1885, when he sold it to David H. McAlpin. McAlpin, a wealthy New York City Tobacco merchant, first named the property �Glen Alpin� and also used it as a summer estate.Original file name 50378794658_89f0e05222_o.jpg4282x2855Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
