11 Middle Neck Road, Great Neck

Description: Modified “L”-shaped, three-story, red brick building with elaborate hipped roof. An octagonal tower at the west elevation has a steeply pitched, conical roof and a frieze of yellow brick. The south and west elevations have large hip-on-gable dormers, smaller hipped dormers, and a cross-gable with a round window in the peak. The south elevation has an additional shed dormer. Windows in the gabled bays appear in multiples. All windows have been replaced. The storefronts have been refaced.

Historical information: The building is significant for its association with the Grace family. This building was restored (at the upper stories) in 1977 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, as well as being designated a local landmark by the VGNP the same year
