Long Island Gilded Estates!
Posted: December 4, 2015 | Source: www.llnyc.comSome of America’s most opulent mansions were built on Long Island for the country’s wealthiest families. People such as the Vanderbilts, F.W. Woolworth, Roosevelts and J.P. Morgan tried to outdo each other with their grand homes. One of the Long Island homes, Beacon Towers, that may have been the inspiration for The Great Gatsby was demolished in the 1940s.
