The quaint little stone farm cottage in Stanfordville, New York where acting mega legend James Cagney lived from 1952 - until 1986 (his death.) He had it built for he and his wife, along with another little separate house for his Assistant/House Keeper (which was since torn down.) "Verney Farm" (a combination of his and her last names.) He died peacefully in this cottage on the morning of Easter Sunday, March 30th,1986. The house used to have a patio in the front, looking out onto the lake, where Jimmy would sit and have coffee and read, but was taken down a few years ago. He raised Beef Cattle here.

This clip was taken on 3/30/2010. The 24th anniversary of his death. This is private/protected property, and although the house is partially visible from the street, people can't get this close. I was allowed by Security, to follow them onto the property for a few minutes. It was freezing and pouring rain. It was a wonderful moment to peek into the windows and see where one of the greatest actor of all time, spent his middle-age to golden years.
