It is believed the eagles were installed at the Finley estate sometime between 1906 and 1908 when the new campus was built; and prior to Finley's departure from City College in 1913. John Finley and his wife, Martha, left the summer property to their daughter, Ellen Finley Kiser. The property is now owned by Ellen Kiser's four children.
