Fisher.","why_significant":"The hotel was the centerpiece of Carl Fisher's plan to turn the isolated fishing village of Montauk into a major resort community. It was the largest and most expensive building in Montauk when completed and remains the most conspicuous architectural landmark on the South Fork. Its English Tudor Revival exterior reflects popular 1920s American taste and contrasts with the shingled frame buildings typical of eastern Long Island.","narrative":"Montauk Manor is a 200-room hotel built in 1926 on a hill above Fort Pond at Montauk, at the eastern end of Long Island. Designed by Schultze & Weaver for developer Carl G. Fisher, it is a three-and-one-half-story steel-frame building with an H-shaped plan, stucco and brick walls, half-timbered gables and a copper-roofed tower. Its free interpretation of English Tudor Revival style set it apart from the shingled houses typical of the South Fork. The hotel anchored Fisher's plan to turn a small fishing village into a fashionable resort, alongside polo fields, a golf course, docks and a new railroad station. It was the largest and most costly building in Montauk when finished. After the 1929 crash ruined Fisher, most of his other resort construction fell into ruin, while the manor survived. At the time of listing it stood vacant, with a surviving original lobby, parlor and swimming pool, and a dining room damaged by water.","period_of_significance":"1926","architect_builder":"Schultze & Weaver","architectural_style":"English Tudor Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Vacant and unoccupied at the time of nomination; extensive water damage has destroyed much of the dining room plaster, and parts of the building were altered during an unsuccessful condominium conversion.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:43.412309-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/84002995.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002995/ed8645896f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002995/ed8645896f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Beyond My Ken","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Montauk_Manor.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Beyond My Ken</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Montauk_Manor.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322188","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montauk_Manor","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6904487"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/suffolk-county/montauk-manor-84002995/"}
