Long Island’s Gold Coast became a showcase of extravagance, with estates like Harbor Hill towering above Hemstead Harbor, and Rosemary Farm nestled in Lloyd Harbor’s hills. These homes featured Italianate, Georgian, and Mediterranean Revival styles—ballustrades, turrets, lush gardens, and opulent interiors. Notables like Charles Macdonald built the Bishar estate, inspired by French châteaux, complete with turrets, formal gardens, and a private outdoor amphitheater.
