Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Isaacs undertook a full restoration of the house designed in part by Benjamin Henry Latrobe whose construction began in 1811.〔(Long Branch Estate at About.com )〕 Diagnosed with terminal cancer, Isaacs set up a non-profit foundation to which he donated the entire 400-acre property to be operated as a museum. Following his death in 1990, Long Branch was opened to the public on April 3, 1993.〔(Long Branch Estate website )〕
