This Venturi house (circa1967) was slated to be demolished because some developer wanted to build a larger home on the property. This is only one of the many homes to be affected by the McMansion syndrome. Thankfully Venturi’s son Jim, contacted his friends Debbie and Robert Sarnoff asking if he could move the cottage to their property. They agree stating that the new use will be a guest house on their property. Apparently however its not a done deal. Glen Cove officials are still working out zoning issues before the home can be put on a barge and sent up the East River. If you have any connections or ties to Glen Cove administrators please urge them to act swiftly as the home is currently sitting on a truck exposed to the elements until a descision can be made.
