This April marks the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel that transformed Long Island’s North Shore into a symbol of Jazz Age glamour and ambition. Preservation Director Tara Cubie explores the real people, places, and estates that inspired Fitzgerald’s fictional world—and how the Gold Coast’s legacy continues to shape our fascination with Gatsby a century later.
