Inisfada
Inisfada was the North Hills, Long Island, estate of Nicholas and Genevieve Brady, a papal duke and duchess.〔http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,930896,00.html〕 The name is Gaelic for "Long Island". The mansion was designed by noted Philadelphia architect John Torrey Windrim. After the death of the duchess, it was left to a Jesuit order for their use. For many decades it was known as the St. Ignatius Retreat House.〔http://www.theislandnow.com/manhasset/news/inisfada-s-past-detailed-in-lecture/article_fd81ef02-f7d9-11e3-9b74-0019bb2963f4.html〕 Despite efforts to preserve the mansion by preservation groups and activists,〔http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/31/nyregion/preservationists-try-to-bar-demolition-of-87-room-mansion-on-long-island.html〕 it was controversially demolished in December 2013 after being sold to a Hong Kong-based development company.〔http://www.manhassetpress.com/inisfada-demolition-underway/〕 ==References==
