Before Christie Todd Whitman became governor of New Jersey (1994-2001), she spent her summers in East Hampton village at this shingle-style mansion built by her grandfather John R. Todd in 1929.

The home, which the current owners purchased from the Todd family in 1981, is changing hands once again. According to the Brown Harris Stevens Web site, the $6.95 million listing is now in contract. The three-story dwelling has 12 bedrooms and 9.5 baths, six fireplaces and a four-car garage, and is located near Wiborg Beach.

Whitman’s grandfather and father, Webster B. Todd, were involved in the planning and construction of Rockefeller Center in Manhattan.
