History

It’s easy to trace the history of the Tobin Clark area. The original 35,000 square-foot Tobin Clark estate, built for Hibernia Bank heiress Cebia Tobin Clark in 1930, is not only still standing, but it has been on and off the market for several years, with an asking price ranging from $30 million to $45 million. Cebia Tobin Clark wasn’t the only major original landowner in what is now Tobin Clark Estate. For several decades, a large plot located east of the Tobin Clark estate was the property of silver baron W.S. Hobart, who had a hunting lodge on the land. Hobart’s estate remained untouched until it was finally subdivided in 2004.
