Levitt Returns Dec. 4
After an absence of 18 years.

largest community builder, will
return to Nassau County
Saturday. Dec. 4.
On that day. the sales office
and three model homes for
Strathmore Glen. Levitt's $7
million, 140 home community in
Glen Cove, will be opened. The
first homes are expected to be
ready for occupancy in April of
1972, the 25th anniversary of the
original Levittown.
Peter Taylor. Vice President
and Lang Island Regional
Manager for Levitt, compared
the Glen Cove opening to a
homecoming, "Though only a
small fraction of Levitt's
worldwide building effort.
Strathmore Glen will receive an
inordinate amount of our at­tention.
The situation will most
resemble the' all out effort a
college football player gives
before his hometown fans."
Generally, recognized as
America's first planned com­munity.
Levittown revolutionized
the home building industry and
earned international recognition
for Levitt and Sons. In the post
war boom years 1947-51. 17.447
homes were built there using,
production line techniques made
possible largely by a Town of
Hempstead decision which
permitted construction of homes
on concrete slabs instead of full
basements.
Ironically, all of the Glen Cove
homes will have basements. The
new homes will range in size
from three to five bedrooms and
be priced' from $50,000. The
original Levittown homes, only
one third as big as the new
models, were first sold for $6,990.
Strathmore Glen, located near
the Village of Lattingtown off Old
Tappen Road, will be built on the
former estate of Charles Pratt, a
founder of Pratt Institute.
Levitt's Architect. Allen C.
Roth, learned his craft at the
Institute. In honor of his alma
mater and the 25th anniversary
of Levittown. Roth has
redesigned his personal home for
inclusion in Strathmore Glen.
