Older Lenox residents remember Kate d’A Bonner to be the cream of Lenox society in the 1920s and 30s. Her parents, Robert “Ed” Bonner, Jr. and Kate d’A Griffith Bonner inherited the New York Ledger, NYC’s largest weekly newspaper, which was founded by her grandfather, Robert Bonner, an Irish immigrant.
They purchased this home, Wynnstay, in 1917 from the Struthers. It was renamed after one of their sons, Hampton, and then given to Kate in 1920. The maternal side of the family is French and directly descended from General Lafayette.
