Over the next ten years, with guidance from the New York City architectural firm of Rossiter and Wright, Howes remodeled the home, changing it from a more modest Romanesque residential style house to a grand Tudor mansion. He added rooms and erected several stone towers, including a central tower 16' square by 64' tall.

 Large replicas of circus lanterns grace the perimeters of the lawns where circus animals once paraded about.

 The building has been handsomely restored by its current owner, the Delancy Street Foundation
