Inisfada was the North Hills, Long Island, estate of Nicholas and Genevieve Brady, a papal duke and duchess.[1] The name is Gaelic for "Long Island". The mansion was designed by noted Philadelphia architect John T. Windrim. After the death of the duchess, it was left to a Jesuit order for their use. For many decades it was known as the St. Ignatius Retreat House.[2]
Despite efforts to preserve the mansion by preservation groups and activists,[3] it was controversially demolished in December 2013 after being sold to a Hong Kong-based development company.[4]
