The A. Conger Goodyear House is an NRHP listed historic home located at Old Westbury in Nassau County, New York. ==History== The house was built in 1938 in the International style. The house was designed by noted architect Edward Durell Stone, and was owned by businessman and philanthropist Anson Conger Goodyear. The house has 6,000 square feet of space, five bedrooms and five and a half baths and currently sits on a five and a half acre lot. The home has been described as "a remarkable balancing act between the austerity of the then·developing high modernism of Mies van der Rohe and the warm, site-oriented romantic functionalism of earlier American masters like Frank Lloyd Wright." When Goodyear died in 1964, the home was left unoccupied until 1970 when the family donated the house to the New York Institute of Technology for use as the President’s house. In 1997, NYIT sold it to Wheatley Construction Company which had planned to raze it for new development.〔 The World Monuments Fund campaigned to save it starting in 2001 and eventually bought it in 2005.〔 Later that year they sold to Troy Halterman with constrictive limitations on renovations to the interior and exterior though the lot was reduced from 100 acres. Halterman never moved in, however, and sold it in 2007 to Eric Cohler who spent a purported $2 million USD in renovations. The home was again sold to Aby Rosen in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ncmodernist.org/stone.htm )〕 It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A.
