Save the Pearlroth House!

Special thanks goes to the Jay and Kelly Sugarman Foundation for a recent generous contribution!

It is more important than ever that we raise the funds to complete the restoration, which may reach $250,000 by the time the project is finished. Donations of building materials are also needed. All donations are tax deductible.

Historian David Shearer and filmmaker Jake Gorst are working together to rescue, relocate and restore this landmark house. It will become a museum of architecture and design if preservation efforts are successful.

The New York Observer named this beach house one of the top ten houses of the Hamptons. Architectural historian and writer for the New York Times and Dwell Alastair Gordon said:

"Andrew Geller's Pearlroth House in Westhampton Beach is one of the most important examples of experimental design built during the postwar period - not just on Long Island but anywhere in the United States. It is witty, bold and inventive."
