Demolished or destroyed.

Beacon Towers was a Châteauesque mansion on Sands Point, Long Island, designed by architect Richard Howland Hunt and constructed between 1917 and 1918 for Alva Belmont, the prominent society figure and widow of Oliver Belmont. Built of brick in the ornate style characteristic of Gilded Age estates, the mansion stood as a notable example of early twentieth-century residential architecture on Long Island's North Shore before its demolition in 1945.
