Im always doing something. Some kind of jewelry. Q: So those things that you got later on, afterthey didnt come from Europe. And we used to say, Wow, wonder who lives there? Hes the man that built the house. And thats what this house is. Burke: And its great when you have friends come, you have extra bedrooms, you can put them all up. And then you could walk under the porch out into the garden. But what was really, really bad was people, if they were going to build a garage, or they were going to build something, theyd go to that big, beautiful mansion and rip the siding off of it and take it back to build what they want to build. She said, George, when she died, she was laid out in the coffin, right in that room, in front of those two windows. Valhalla. So I run downstairs. And I got a good price for that.

And that was a couple people from Tottenville, caused all that. This the expensive piece of property! They sold it to the developers. But this is too much for you, George. You got to get out. So we moved to Florida. I took forty-four big trees down in the front field just so you could clear the front and see the house. She left things there. And Diane said, Oh, Marian has it..

If they brought flowers, it had to be lilacs. So I said, Oh. So that was thatI got that little story. But I had all that money! I bought those in Germany. Burke: Yes, Mario come out all the time. And I miss all those horses. Burke: Yes. Thats what I wanted. And I loved it. George: Oh, I knew the Seguines for years. But how many people really have a sense of history anymore?

I mean, look, theyve been trying to get rid of the carriage horses in the city, for how long now? If you want to come in a business with me, John, lets make into a beautiful restaurant. So he said, Okay, Ive never owned a restaurant, but Id be willing to try it, George. So I said, Well, John, youre gonna have to put a lot of money in it because you have all the money, as being who you are. I fixed it up.

She was great because she would know. George Burke. Burke: Yes. Burke: And all the others like it, well, I can remember, on the other side of the pond over there, going alongthe mansions that were over there. So that makes sense. The oldwhat the hell was itgrocery store. And all those Eskimos just loved me. Daller: No. And whats going on up the street here now? But those things, I couldnt.

Is there anything else that you would like to add about the house as it is now, the history, or the future of the house? Daller: Well, remember how much it took to paint the whole house, and how you had to paint sections of it? The woodwork, the moldings, the parquet floors. According to the funeral home, the following services have. Tell us about when you were born? That was Mrs., what was her name? But things that, well, were thatyou needed carpenters that knew, that were good carpenters. So it shows you that you have a friend forever. So I said, Well, I would have named it The Rossville Inn because it was in Rossville, but he will he loved Bermuda and he wanted Bermuda Inn. So I said, Yes, John, well call it the Old Bermuda Inn. Would you? Its unreal! Its all stay in here. Yes, she died and she was in the front parlor in the coffin, wasnt she? But, Q: Let me ask you some more about the items that you collected when you were. Utica. And then, on the side of the house in the back, there was a little piece built out. Theyre all McMansions. You can go and look and read about anything about the South Shore of Staten Island. Burke: Well, I was always an antique collector. Anyway, I said, Oh boy, did I have a scary dream. I told her my dream. And in the basement, I put the kitchen and a dining area and everything. But I restored all that. Burke: He did almost all the upholstery in the house. And through all the years that the old lady had this woman taking care of her, the lilacs were always in bloomwhen they were in bloom, they were in the house. I mean, how did you decide what to purchase, what to collect? Q: Did you start the restoration process at that house? And now the people that I sold it to, the Pistillis [James and Kathleen Pistilli], they had the whole thing researched and now its got landmark things on it and everything. Because my house was right across the street from it. And, you know, who has that!? Q: Can you tell me about the ghost in that house? And Im glad I did what I did, about just giving it to the National Historic Trust. They dont know it. Soon, nobody had room in their house to store anymore of my stuff. So Walter was re-stationed to Fort Lauderdale in Florida. I dont know if it ever took off.

And their mansion, the White people that owned SS White, the White family, owned right across the creek, there, where the Captains Quarters [private development] are. Would you just sell me two acres there? So Id go over there and, of course, Bess Seguine was always over there. Theyd go in and theyd take the windows out and theyd use the windows, and they destroyed it. I went to boot camp, I loved it. And its still there, its all there. Its Meissen. Victor. And you cant control it from the grave. And in order to have food and such, youd have to bring it up the back stairs. And after he died the family still lived like we had my fathers money involved. Burke: Oh, I forgot about that. Yes, but it was weird. And that makes more sense to people when they see something. I didnt know they were lilacs, but I could smell something pretty. Kathleen graduated from St. Peter's Girls High School in 1962. Its all part of history, and theyre just destroying it every way they can. What is a shame is some of the mansionsthe really, really ornate mansions that were torn down. But I still have a lot of it. Q: And how did you decide, I guess, how to rebuild? Oh, we were crabbing. They cant do anything. I cant think ofdoesnt matter, the name of the people. What were the things that you did when you were young? Daller: It just went right out of my head! In a house that you dont even own? Burke: All that stuff from England? Theyd work out, and theyd be waiters, or this and that. Most of them were like china and vases, such like that. And thats where we are today. So I found this big beautiful, French, mansard roof, big Victorian house in Tottenville. The Seguine Mansion, also known as The Seguine-Burke Mansion, is located on Lemon Creek near the southern shore of Staten Island. And I was so damn busy, I never got to go home.

Theyll take care of it and be able to show tours. If you give me a big helping hand here. I said, You know, I dont make that much money. Syosset. Daller: No, I dont. That was a great house. And I went in and I noticed my big box was gone. . Burke: Of course, I come from a big house. Daller: No. And when they got level, he screamed, Okay, George, theyre level, theyre level! And then I put a big postI put a big cement thing on the floor. He brought a crowd with him and it was just to tell him thank you for everything that hes done. Yes. But she used to wear three, four dresses and she smelled like an old goat! So I said to her, I said Bess, the only thing Ill save your house is a bulldozer! And they repaired all these taxis, repainted them, and then sold them all to Cuba. Anyway, there was three things that I found by doing some worklike, giftsI forget what they were. But thats part of whats been going on down here. Ive been to the Tenement Museum, and I love the fact that theres a woman on a loop and she discusses living in the apartment. Q: Yes. Stole all that carved stuff, stole all that stuff, that whole box of stuff. You said you started with the basement. His family was like aristocratic. I found a beautiful place in Tottenville and I opened it and called it the Tidewater Inn. And then one of my brothers had just gotten out of the military. Burke: Yes. Or next to the chair where she was sitting. Lookit, I saved the police station and the two buildings next to the police station. He come over he looked at it. Q: [Laughs] Yes. Staten Island was very early on, and then Florida, and then off to Europe. Because Evelyn didnt like the house, his wife. Well, he lived on Staten Island. Daller: He did the sofa upstairs as well. And then, it wasI guess that was in the spring, then later on, I dont know what I was doing. I put the post on it up under the floor where the newer posts in the staircase was upstairs, and then, when I took the jack away, it sat on the post. With a little more improvement, and he would do a little improving on what I wanted, you know, then it was perfect when Mario did it. So I said, whew! They tore down those two nice little cottages that were there. But unfortunately, all the stuff up there was cured by urine. That was something that you had restoredis that right? But the basement was the summer dining rooms and summer kitchen. Burke: So, in other words, fifty years from now, if someone wants to learn about the house, they can find out. Was her name Mackey? Christ, we had a good time. Remember him? And in the back of the house, its still there, is aChrist, it must be half the size of this roomis a huge, huge lilac bush. No, it wasnt that. So he came out. Q: Was that here in the house? So thats how that all came about. Oh, God, I worked so damn hard. And I had beautiful big pieces of Meissen that I got when I was in Germany, and it all went here and there andI cant get it back. In Europe, he felt like he had been. So we lived there, and it was a big courtyard and there were four buildings and the center courtyard was all grass. And a friend of mine I was very good friendly with was John. And each little petal and everything is done beautiful. Thats the usual setup, I think, for historic houses. Daller: Well, you got involved with Burkes Landing with Scalia. Burke: Her sister has it [indicating Daller]. They didnt even have soap. I slept in it, lived in it, ate in it. The one owned by the steel companywas that a beautiful house! Daller: Right, we really dont discuss any of that. And I wanted these little chairs tufted but he had passed away before he could get around to tuft. And I saved quite a bit of money. Burke: Oh, when I was a kid, we lived in Annandale. You can retire. More beautiful than peoples houses. And she was laid in a dress with a big lace collar. I moved in, I cleaned it all up. So its saved forever. A lot of these drapes, they did. And I think we can end there. And as you see it today was from me doing all those little things. Were not going to stay and put up with these two people. Or is that real? That was real. She said shell keep the doors locked and call Linda if anybody wants to get in and take anything out. He was incurring all the expenses. Just landmarked. Daller: Yes, I found him. Q: Yes. You come out and take over the boys and mens department in the store. I said, Thats fine. We had beautiful stuff in our home, all the time. Oh god, that was a gorgeous mansion. And that way, it wouldnt burn the houses down.
