To put an exclamation point on the exclusivity John Jr. commissioned a wall around the perimeter of the house inset with pieces of tile brought back from the Great Wall of China. In 1962 the stately pile anachronistic its surroundings was deemed unsuitable for continued use and demolished by the fam- ily. Parts of the wall and Abbys gardens still remain while the rest of the family scattered around Acadia inhabiting individual prop- erties or private islands. The Washington Post ran a feature sto- ry on the Rockefellers presence in Acadia in 1979 recounting how John Juniors five sons displayed their inherent business acumen by setting up a flower stall outside the coun- try club. It was rumored that the boys even hitchhiked from the club to the The Eyrie. On one such occasion the driver expressed surprise at a young Rockefeller without his own car. Who do you think we are Van- derbilts was the retort. During his summers John Junior a keen horseman spent much of his time oversee- ing the creation of a network of carriage roads around the family estate. The patri- arch showed an aptitude for designing and landscaping creating miles of flowing car- riageway between 1915 to 1933 that give unparalleled access to forest and coastline. Today the carriageways remain part of John Jr.s Acadian legacy. There are 45 miles of meandering public paths uninterrupted by autoroutes their 17 arched granite bridges grinning with coping stones often referred to as Rockefellers teeth.
