Xanadu?

Just a question for anyone: I see in the photo some very large black urns. There is also currently one that looks similar in the Lindenwood neighborhood, that divides two streets. Is that the same one, or type, that was used at this estate? Is there anything left of this estate? Foundation? Outlying buildings etc.? This is an amazing property!

Some very selfish ex-residents of Lindenwood sued the town for the right to remove two of these urns off of the Flood estate. They are now located on Park Lane in Atherton behind the litigants new home. Their removal has caused the urns to now have no historic vaue, they are just fine old urns. This has been a sad loss for the town, for Lindenwood and for even the importance of the urns themselves. Really short sighted.
"Interested citizen" will find lots and lots of information about the estate at both the Atherton Heritage Room and the Menlo Park Historical Society both of which are located in or very near their respective libraries. Contact Marion Oster (Atherton)or Frank Helfrich (Menlo Park)

So, the big black urn that separates those two streets (sorry I don't know the name of the streets) are NOT from the Flood estate?

I believe the urn that you are likely referring to IS original to the Flood estate. Don't know about any fakes having been placed.
