After a Herculean Renovation, Architect Wallace Harrisonâs Landmarked Home Seeks a New Caretaker
Once headed for demolition, the storied Long Island residence by the Rockefeller Center designer is on the market for $5,999,000.
Wallace Harrison designed Manhattanâs Metropolitan Opera House, the McGraw-Hill Building, the Time & Life Building, the Exxon Building, and the Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York. He also had a substantial hand in the creation of Rockefeller Center and the United Nations Headquarters, but you canât live in any of those places. You
can, however, live in the architectâs exceptionally graceful summer home in Melville on Long Island, respectfully and tastefully restored and expanded by the firm SchappacherWhite and currently for sale for $5,999,000.
