The Shell House, located at 26 Westland Drive on East Island in Glen Cove, Nassau County, New York, is a historic residence originally built as a guest cottage and residence for the yacht captain on the Matinecock Point Estate of J. P. Morgan, Jr. The structure comprises a small Norman-style core dating to the mid-nineteenth century, substantially enlarged by a Tudor Revival addition constructed around 1910. The property also retains the remains of a pier and a poured concrete and cinder block wall. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, the house underwent rebuilding in the late 2010s.
