Building in New York, United States
The Elmcroft Estate, also called the Norwich House,
[1] is a historic mansion in
Upper Brookville, New York, U.S. The 38-room property was built in 1918 by industrialist Frank C B Page, president of E W Bliss Machine Works in Brooklyn NY.
[2] From 1938 to 1952 it was the residence of
Nathan L. Miller, who served as the governor of New York from 1921 to 1922.
[2] In 1952, it was purchased by the
Soviet Union as a retreat for their diplomats.
[3] Russian access to the site was commuted in the wake of the alleged
Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections as part of
a number of sanctions taken by the United States government against Russian diplomatic personnel.
