The Onderdonk Mansion

The residence of Horatio Gates Onderdonk and his wife Elizabeth, built c. 1836 in Manhasset. Onderdonk was a county judge for Kings County. When Levitt & Sons purchased a piece of the property to develop in 1933 into 'Strathmore at Manhasset' the house was used as their office. Upon completion of the development and the formation of a resident's association, they handed over the home to the Strathmore Association to be used as a community facility.
