Cobble Villa

Cobble Villa, also known as Villa Clara, is a historic home located at Long Beach in Nassau County, New York. It was built about 1912, and is a 2+12-story, asymmetrical Mediterranean Revival style brick and stuccoed dwelling. It consists of an L-shaped core, a two-story gambrel roofed addition, and a one-story porte cochere. The building has a varied, multi-gabled roofline covered in red terra cotta tile. It was built as the nascent resort's first showpiece and a demonstration of its developer's vision.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 and recently knocked down by the corrupt city of Long Beach NY.
