Renovating Beechwood Manor

Based in New York, Herbert Roy Zucker is a licensed real estate professional and therefore can perform services such as selling, buying, renting, auctioning, and advertising of real estate properties. Herbert Roy Zucker was responsible for ensuring Beechwood Manor, a modified Neo Federal house, was financially capable of a reformation.

Beechwood Manor, built in 1930 and archived at Columbia University, located on Old Tappan Road in Glen Cove, was rundown from multiple uses by the time Cynthia Zucker, Herbert Zucker’s wife, had the idea to transform it into a family home.

After realizing that it would take a long time to renovate the house as initially planned, Cynthia Zucker came up with an idea to create a show house to teach the community about local history. Mrs. Zucker recruited 24 designers, landscape gardeners, and plasterers who donated their expertise, time, and materials to renovate the eight-bedroom house. When the work was completed, the house was opened to the public with money collected from ticket sales benefiting the City of Glen Cove Waterfront Revitalization Plan.
