“The union was threatening to kill him at the time so every window in the house has pocket solid steel doors that covered them incase they came after him,” listing broker Jason Friedman of Laffey Fine Homes in Great Neck said. “The house was built during prohibition, so in the basement there is a bank vault door that leads to a second vault door, which leads to a lounge/speakeasy room filled with wine, liquor, etc.”

The property features it’s own vineyard, reflecting pool, carriage house, horse barns and 14 fireplaces. –Christopher Cameron
