Inhaltsangabe

Unlike many of the great American estates that no longer exist, Florham--the historic country home of the Vanderbilt Twomblys--was transformed into a campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1958, Remaking Florham tells that story through words and pictures--from the purchase and conversion of the land and buildings to the experiences of students who attended in the initial years.
