Harris died in 1916, and his estate sold the mansion around 1920 to Yellow Taxi Cab Company founder Walden W. Shaw, who renamed the mansion The Stenning after his ancestral home in England. The estate later was owned by Shaw’s son-in-law, Daniel F. Peterkin, who was the president of the Morton Salt Company, and then by Peterkin’s son, who also had been president of Morton Salt.Driehaus bought the mansion from Peterkin’s heirs for $4.83 million in 1998, and he renamed it Glanworth Gardens and began throwing annual theme parties to which he invited about 600 people. The parties were capped by fireworks displays and attended by major stars, including Jay Leno and the Beach Boys. Driehaus died last March at age 78.
