Dungeness Ruins

"General Nathanael Greene died before his family home, Dungeness (named after Oglethorpe’s hunting lodge), was finished. His wife Catherine completed the home after marrying Phineas Miller. Abandoned and eventually destroyed in an 1866 fire, Dungeness was rebuilt as a 59-room Queen Anne-style mansion by the Carnegies and completed in 1886 after Thomas’ death. In 1959, the mansion was again destroyed by a fire. Preserved by the NPS since 1972, its ruins offer a backdrop to the island’s grazing feral horses. "
