Design Happens

This week’s Design Watch comes as a sad obituary for a home that inspired the imagination of F. Scott Fitzgerald when he wrote The Great Gatsby.

“Land’s End,” the home that sat across the Long Island Sound from where Fitzgerald wrote his novel was demolished this past week to make way for five new, multi-million dollar houses.  The developers who bought the estate report that the expenses to maintain such a palatial structure were too high, and sadly, it was condemned.
