A luxurious mansion that hosted President Theodore Roosevelt has sold for $1.55 million. The Fairfield Estate, which is located in Fayetteville, New York State's leafy suburbs, was built between 1864 and 1875 by local businessman and farmer Nathaniel Gillett. It was purchased by noted Syracuse lawyer Andrew S. White in 1900, and it became a destination for many of his high-flight colleagues, including Roosevelt and his uncle, who was the first president of Cornell University.
