Thomas Carnegie was Andrew’s younger brother. Thomas did a fine job of financial management of their steel empire. Thomas died at age 43. His wife, Lucy, was a sharp business woman and added wealth to her family’s holdings. She died in 1916. The house was all but abandoned in 1925 and burned in 1959. What a place the property had been from 1885. Reading of Thomas Carnegie and of Dungeness is worthwhile during the enjoyment of a favorite beverage.
Gnarly bark lumps caught our attention just before entering the home’s main gate.

Quality “yard art” – just imagine what the grounds looked like in 1890!
There are dozens of additional images which could have been taken for the blog: ice house; carriage house; captain’s quarters; etc. I hope what has been presented creates an interest in Thomas Carnegie and Dungeness.
