Although successful, Letchworh found the day-to-day operations of business burdonsome. He sought refuge from the business world and decided to build a home. He settled on the location while as a tourist gazing at the view in what the Seneca Indians called the Sehgahunda Valley through which the Genesee River flowed. In 1859 he purchased his first tract of land near Portage Falls.

Letchworth hired noted landscape architect William Wesbter to design the gounds of the estate, which Letchworth named Glen Iris.
