Unfortunately, this is not Beechwood, this is Bealieu. Beechwood is north of Beaulieu, on the other side of the Marble House (note the parking lot close to Bellevue Ave, as Beechwood is now a museum). Beaulieu was once owned by William Waldorf Astor, and later Cornelius Vanderbilt III and his wife, the famous hostess Grace Vanderbilt.
