'Manor House'

'Manor House', the John Teele Pratt estate designed by Charles A. Platt c. 1909 in Glen Cove. Following the death of J.T. Pratt's wife the house became a hotel and conference center, adding large modern wings on the rear of the house (which destroyed most of its charm). Today the house is the Glen Cove Mansion Hotel & Conference Center. Click HERE for more on 'Manor House'.
