Devonfield is a gracious English-Style country house which was originally built in the late 1800's. It overlooks a pastoral meadow shaded by graceful birch trees, with the rolling tapestry of the Berkshire Hills beyond. Set on 29 acres it's a mile above Lee's Main Street, which has a rich history dating to 1798. Owners Ronnie and Bruce Singer (ardent preservationists) fell in love with Devonfield and purchased it with a strong desire to preserve one of Lee's historic treasures. (Devonfield has the distinction of being included as one of the grand "Berkshire Cottages"). When Queen Wilhelmina of Holland came to Devonfield for a few months in 1942 to escape the looming Nazi takeover of her country, she was a guest at Devonfield. President Roosevelt paid a visit to the Queen and her daughter Juliana and grand-daughters Irene and Beatrix (the current Queen of Holland). You too, may relax on the same patio where the Queen and FDR visited! Mrs. Lloyd, then owner of Devonfield, was not too pleased that the President's chauffeur drove his car across the lawn to the patio damaging the lawn in the process!
