As indicated by the caption, this undated color image shows one of “The Horse Tamers” in the backyard of a modest speculative developer’s suburban house.
The caption accompanying this image reads as follows:
Following Harbor Hill’s destruction with dynamite in 1947, the garden’s pink Tennessee marble “Horse Tamers” went their separate ways. One spent years in front of Roslyn's High School, that Mackay and presented a parcel of his estate to build on. The other remained in place. For another 60-odd years it slowly crumbled, atop its high base, in the backyard of a modest speculative developer’s suburban house, otherwise differing little from a thousands [sic] like houses that were built on Harbor Hill’s vast acres.
Four other images of the Harbor HIll: “The Horse Tamers” sculpted by Franz Plumelet have also been placed in the Library:
