'Inisfada' Front facade. |
Today, December 5, 2013, demolition was officially begun of the historic 'Inisfada' estate on Long Island, which happens to be the 4th largest home built in the United States. Built between 1916 and 1920, the estate was constructed for Nicholas and Genevieve Brady, a wealthy Catholic couple. After Mr. Brady's death, the house was willed to Genevieve, who in turn gave it to the St. Ignatius, who used the residence as a retreat house. In 1936, the home served as the base for Pope Pius XII during his U.S. tour. 75 years later, the home was listed up for sale by the institution, who decided to sell the place after previously auctioning off several furniture pieces dating back to the Brady ownership. It was sold for $36 million in August of this year, and was rumored to be demolished. After a last-ditch attempt by preservationists, demolition crews finally showed up this morning, ready to begin. Already, the solarium and many exterior walls lay in a pile of rubble. Here are some links regarding the estate and the demolition.

When will we care enough in this country to preserve our architectural heritage and culture before it is all bulldozed for strip shopping centers and subdivsions? Hong Kong developer was given the okay from the Village of North Hills to demolish this landmark. We are doomed as a country if we care so little about our past. Disheartening and embarassing when compared to European's caring for their ancient buildings and landmarks.

ugh...sickening!
ReplyDeletesickening and disgraceful. Shame on all of us for caring so little about our history. As a nation we are doomed since our heritage, landmarks and culture hold so little value to us. Also give proper credit to the morons on the village board of North HIlls for being so ignorant, foolish and small minded not to see the value in preserving this magnificent structure.
ReplyDeleteInisfada which means Long Island in Gallic has been written to capture the timeline of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Genevieve Carroll Garvan Brady. “Papal Duchess”. Mrs. Brady was a woman great means and tremendous generosity Holy inspirational vision and hope to people throughout the world. The book covers her work from WW1, WW2, Great Depression, Spanish War and much more. The book also covers some topics of interest related to key events such as the sinking of the Titanic and the illuminati theories of the Federal Reserve. Mrs. Brady was and remains the highest decorated Catholic Woman in America. She worked very closely with the Catholic Church, The Jesuits the Vatican and Presidents during very difficult times. This is a must read book for all women who hold Jesus close to their hearts and Women's rights at the forefront of all that is good in the world. This book is very thought provoking for anyone who is interested in the illuminati theory of the Holy Grail.

the early 20th century.
Who knew what social life was like
back then? I can thank the New York

Very informative! But I can see some very visible grammatical errors. Attracting thousands of readers and providing such useful information you should avoid such mistakes. It happens but it should be rectified before the content goes live. If you can’t do it yourself get editing help or maybe the best thesis editing service as they do this work in detail.
ReplyDeleteFive weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through.
