I am looking for information regarding Commodore Walter D. Lutgen. He owned the estate called "Villa Linta", in Redding Ridge, Fairfield Co., Conn. until 1922. I believe it is now part of a state park.
Any information you can give me regarding the estate and the owner Walter D. Lutgen (also spelled Luttgen and Liittgen) would be greatly appreciated.
I believe this was his summer home and he lived in NYC. Beyond that I know nothing about him, his family, i.e. was he married, did he have children, who were his parents, when was he born, where was he born? etc.
Any suggestions on where to get information would be a huge help to me.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
