Massaro House
Building in Lake Mahopac, New York
Massaro House is a residence on privately owned Petre Island in Lake Mahopac, New York, roughly 50 miles (80 km) north of New York City. Inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the home's design and construction have had a complex and controversial history. Wright's plan was initially known as the "Chahroudi House", for the client who commissioned it back in 1949, and for whom Wright designed and built a much smaller cottage on the island when his proposal for the main home proved prohibitively expensive for the local engineer.
