Northrop from 1890-late 1930's, followed by Henri Doll in the late 1940's (Schlumberger-Doll), & the summer home of Kurt Waldheim while he was UN Secretary General. For over 3 decades, the current owners have cherished this landmark...This stunning colonial farmhouse, set back on 2.16 pastoral acres on scenic Spectacle Lane & bordered by open space, is a treasured part of Ridgefield's history.
