Frank Lloyd Wright House on Lake Mahopac

In 1951, A.K. Chahroudi had a summer cottage built by Frank Lloyd Wright on Petre Island in Lake Mahopac  50 miles north of New York City. He also had Wright draw up plans for a much larger residence on the same island. The residence was never built. The island was bought by Joe Masarro and his wife. They are in the process of building - beginning in 2004 - the Wright house that was never built, adhering almost completely to Wright's original plans.

Lake Mahopac: Old Time NY Hotspot

Tourists and pleasure seekers have been travelling to Lake Mahopac to enjoy cool lakeside living and escape hot New York summers for almost two centuries. In 1843 they came by stagecoach to stay in the original Mahopac Hotel. In 1849, they rode the Harlem Railroad as far as Croton Falls and then took carriages to the resort. But in 1871, when the NYC and Northern Railroad built its tracks all the way to Carmel, wealthy New Yorkers began flocking to the pristine lake, buying land and building their summer homes on its shores.
