Fence Dispute: Mrs Stetson Wins restraining 17 foot church fence
Judge Burr of New York Supreme Court grants a permanent injunction blocking church officials from erecting a 17 foot fence between the church and Mrs. Stetson's home. He called the fence seriously detrimental to her light, air, and view, noting she paid $30,000 in 1904 for the property and $100,000 for the home built the following year. The deed guaranteed space between house and church would not be built up, preserving her driveway and park view.
