From 1910 until 1931 Archmere was the beautiful country estate of John J. Raskob, his wife, Helena Springer Green, and their 12 children. Chairman of the Board of General Motors, Vice President in charge of finance for the DuPont Company and the developer of the Empire State building, Raskob was recognized as one of the most successful and influential financiers of his time. He built a home, The Patio, that is as unique and beautiful as any in the world.
