Thomas Meighan Residence (Kings Point, New York)

USA / New York / Saddle Rock / Kings Point, New York
 residence, LIGC - Long Island Gold Coast
Built for an unknown first owner but was acquired by the early 1920s by Trabue Pittman. In November 1923, the property was sold to Thomas Meighan, including a house and garage (with boat), along with a mortgage for $50,000. Meighan was a very famous silent film star in the 1920s and 1930s. It is likely that the Pittman house was removed and a new house was built by Meighan, as it was reported by a representative for the owner in 1942.

At the time of the government’s acquisition in 1942, the property was owned by Ernest T. Laubscher or Julius Mueller—Mueller is the name used in acquisition documents, but the property maps use Laubscher.

It is now known as Melville Hall by the USMMA.
