== Notable residences == * [[Mar-a-Lago]], [[Palm Beach, Florida]]: Designed by [[Marion Sims Wyeth]] and [[Joseph Urban]], Post willed Mar-a-Lago to the United States federal government in 1973 as a retreat for presidents and visiting foreign dignitaries.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Rothman|first=Lily|url=https://time.com/4661763/mar-a-lago-donald-trump-marjorie-post/|title=The Mar-a-Lago Club Was a 'Winter White House' Even Before President Trump Got There|date=February 16, 2017|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]}}</ref> Congress repealed acceptance of the estate in 1980 and the Post Foundation sold it to Donald Trump in 1986. Ultimately the mansion was thus used for this purpose during the Trump administration. It was declared a [[List of National Historic Landmarks in Florida|National Historic Landmark]] in 1980; it had been a National Historic Site since 1969.<ref name="nhl">{{cite web|url=http://tps.cr.nps.gov/nhl/detail.cfm?ResourceId=1823&ResourceType=Building|title=Mar-a-Lago|date=December 23, 1980|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090402032009/http://tps.cr.nps.gov/nhl/detail.cfm?ResourceId=1823&ResourceType=Building|archive-date=April 2, 2009}}</ref><ref name="nrhpinv">{{Cite web|last=McKithan|first=Cecil N.|date=August 31, 1981|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Mar-a-Lago|url={{NHLS url |id=80000961}}|publisher=United States Department of the Interior}} {{NHLS url|id=80000961|title=Includes four exterior photos from 1967.|photos=y}} {{small|(942 kB)}}</ref> * [[Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens|Hillwood (Washington, D.C.)]]: now operates as a private museum since Post's death and displays her French and Russian art collection, featuring the work of [[House of Fabergé|Fabergé]], [[Manufacture nationale de Sèvres|Sèvres porcelain]], French furniture, tapestries, and paintings.<ref name="NYTObit" /> * [[Camp Topridge]], Upper St. Regis Lake, New York: a "rustic retreat" in the [[Adirondack Mountains]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/04/28/nyregion/state-finds-no-buyer-for-mountain-camp.html|title=State Finds No Buyer For Mountain Camp|date=April 28, 1985|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=December 9, 2016}}</ref> It included a fully staffed main lodge and private guest cabins, each staffed with its own butler. The expansive [[Great Camps|Great Camp]], built in 1923 by [[Benjamin A. Muncil]], eventually contained nearly 70 buildings, as well as a Russian [[dacha]], on 300 acres. It was one of only two Adirondack camps to be featured in [[Life (magazine)|''Life'' magazine]].{{citation needed|date = February 2023}} * ''[[Sea Cloud]]'' (''Hussar V''): a yacht that was personally designed by Post, and built as a replacement for the original yacht ''[[SV Mandalay|Hussar IV]]'' for her and her second husband, [[Edward Francis Hutton|E. F. Hutton]], in 1931. It was the largest privately owned sea-going [[yacht]] in the world at the time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=689469|title=Sea Cloud - IMO 8843446 Sea Cloud, bt. 1931, gt. 2531|access-date=December 13, 2014}}</ref> They traveled the world on it for portions of the year with their daughter [[Dina Merrill|Nedenia]]. After her divorce from Hutton, she renamed the yacht ''Sea Cloud'', and continued to sail it with her new husband Joseph E. Davies for his ambassadorial trips to the Soviet Union. She sold the yacht in 1955 to the President of the Dominican Republic, [[Rafael Trujillo]]; it is now a cruise ship. * [[LIU Post|Hillwood (Long Island)]]: Built in 1922 in [[Brookville, New York]], after Post purchased and greatly altered the former Warburton Hall Estate, it was designed in the Tudor revival style by architect Charles Mansfield Hart. Post sold it in 1951 to Long Island University, and the property later became [[LIU Post]]. In 2005, it was restored and renamed Winnick House and is used for campus administration, academic offices and event space.<ref name=":1" />
