Scott Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby house famous for its Roaring Twenties parties is demolished | Mail Online
Once it was a home where the beautiful people of the Roaring twenties danced and romanced at lavish parties attended by the likes of Winston Churchill and the Marx Brothers.
Now the colonial mansion on the North Shore of Long Island, said to be the inspiration of F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary classic The Great Gatsby, has been knocked down and its illustrious history has died with it.
Seven years after it was bought for $18 million, the current owners could not afford the upkeep and the property which sits on 13 acres was condemned.
