Description: about this card: At one point, the Carnegie family owned 90 percent of Cumberland Island. Although the island was considered the winter home of the Carnegies, it had the capacity for being a year-round residence. Living a life of such luxury required a large staff. As you walk east of Dungeness and the recreation building, you enter the service area of the estate known as the Grange, where many of the Carnegie’s 200-300 servants lived and worked.In 1890, Lucy Carnegie hired a Harvard graduate named William Page as a tutor for her sons. Highly impressed with Page, she made him the manager of the entire Dungeness estate the next year. As manager, Mr. Page oversaw the day-to-day running of operations for the entire island. He was responsible to order supplies, hire and pay employees, and oversee the building of some of the other structures on the island.To keep Page from wanting to leave, in 1895 she built two-story mansion known as The Grange for him and his family to live in. Page remained in service to the Carnegies until his death in 1922. At that time Florence Carnegie, one of Lucy’s three daughters, moved into the house. She died in 1962. From that time until 2010, the site was considered private property. Since 2010, the property is public land, part of the Cumberland Island National Seashore.
