August 13, 1973

Her name was not Geraldine Dodge. It was Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge (April 3, 1882 to August 13, 1973). When you're rich, you don't have to share a bed. You don't have to share a house. Like Tim Burton, and Helena Bonham Carter,  you can have your own house and have your spouse be your neighbor, because you have adjoining lots with them. So civilized. Dodge and her husband owned adjoining "palatial estates," as the phrase goes. In New Jersey. Hers was named Giralda Farms.

A write up of a recent art show (2012) gives a glimpse into her life:

Never much interested in New York’s high society, Mrs. Dodge seemingly was consumed by three passions: art collecting, purebred dogs, and charity work. She amassed an unprecedented collection of dog painting and sculptures in addition to an eclectic array of antique bells, jewelry, tapestries, vases, clocks, and coins.
....

In dogs, she became one of America’s most successful breeders and show judges, breeding and importing some of the most famous English Cockers, Dobermans, German Shepherds, Bloodhounds, and Pointers in the nation. In all, it is said that she dabbled in 85 breeds, more or less. Not only did she own two Westminster Kennel Club Best in Show winners—the Pointer, Ch. Nancolleth Markable (1932) and the Doberman Pinscher, Ch. Ferry v Rauhfelsen of Giralda (1939), Mrs. Dodge was the first woman ever to judge Best in Show at Westminster, which she did in 1933.
.....

In 1958, Mrs. Dodge, a tireless philanthropist and lover of all animals, founded the Saint Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, New Jersey, as a sanctuary for stray dogs and cats. Upon her death, she bequeathed some of her art collection to Saint Hubert’s, 150 of those items are on sale at the current exhibition at the Secord Gallery to benefit the organization’s capital campaign. ....

The collection includes 19th-century paintings by French, British and American artists including George Earl, Marguerite Kirmse,Gustav Muss-Arnolt, and Percival Rosseau; French and American dog and horse bronze by artists including Jules Geilbert, Jules Moigniez, Rosa and Isodore Bonheur; watercolor portraits by Mrs. Dodge’s favorite artist, Reuben Ward Binks; drawings by Edwin Landseer, Arthur Wardle and Binks; as well as many important sterling silver trophies won by Mrs. Dodge’s famous show dogs.

Although St. Hubert was, among other things, the patron saint of hunters and dogs, you noted already that it is a sanctuary for cats also. Here is a picture of her home as it was during her lifetime. It was situated in parklands where she hosted dog shows.
